Our Team

The GBA+ Centre team combines over 25 years of hands-on expertise in program design, evaluation, community engagement, and policy analysis.

Our experience spans both academic and on-the-ground applications of GBA+. We’ve worked with diverse communities, translating theory into action through meaningful, results-driven programs.

We specialize in creating inclusive programs that serve equity-deserving groups by:
– Ensuring initiatives are crafted to meet unique community needs.
– Driving measurable outcomes that advance equity and accessibility.
– Bringing proven solutions to address systemic barriers.

From refining policies for inclusivity to strengthening programs for equity-deserving communities, we are committed to driving lasting, measurable change that advances equity and opportunity.

Land Acknowledgments

Our work takes place across the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of Indigenous Peoples throughout what is now called Canada. From coast to coast to coast, we honour the enduring presence and stewardship of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities, who have cared for these lands since time immemorial.

Our efforts are guided by a commitment to reconciliation and a dedication to fostering respectful relationships with Indigenous communities. We encourage everyone to learn about the Indigenous Peoples whose land they inhabit and to support Indigenous-led initiatives in their area.

If you’d like to learn more about the traditional lands on which you live and work, visit Native Land and access the Indigenous Ally Toolkit.

Why did we choose to use “Canada” as part of our title?
