The Gender Equality Coalition of Ontario began with an engaged and diverse group of London and surrounding area residents who came together with a shared vision.
The Coalition Working Group met from January to June of 2020 to develop the Terms of Reference and Policies that continue to guide the Coalition today. Our heartfelt thanks goes out to this group of dedicated and informed individuals for their months of hard work: Dani Bartlett, Rachel Berdan, David Billson, Aiden Buchanan-St. Gelais, Maly Bun-Lebert, Kinga Kolton, Rumina Morris, Alexander Pershai, Ramona Robichaud, Matthew Sereda, Philip Shearer, Corinne Walsh, and Dr. Amanda Zavitz.
