We’ve Been Nominated!! How exciting is that!

We’ve Been Nominated!!

How exciting is that!

We’ve been nominated for an award by the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario (ACO). The nomination is in the category of public education and engagement - which makes sense! The recognition is for the work of “uncovering and telling the missing stories of kitcheners black heritage.”

In general this award recognizes events, exhibitions, publications, programs, news media, digital platforms and other projects undertaken by an individual, a group or a nonprofit organization that has helped to advance public understanding, engagement with and enjoyment of Ontario‘s built and cultural heritage.

There’s some pretty stiff competition in the category overall but it’s a complete honour to know that someone in Waterloo region felt strongly about the walkingtour researched, designed and led by Peggy Plet, that they would nominate this walking tour for an award through the ACO.

Peggy and I will attend the awards event on Thursday, October 13 to see if we win! Stay tuned - we’ll be sure to keep you updated!

Terms & language are important! And it’s importa

Terms & language are important! And it’s important to KEEP learning as communities grow and define themselves, on their own terms!
So, a big shout out to SPECTRUM @spectrumwaterlooregion for their 2SLGBTQ+ Terminology Reference Guide & Media Guide which covers a ‘101’ of terms to use and those to avoid and a ‘301’ for more complex discussions and topics.

While these guides are primarily geared towards writers, markers & event organizers - like me! I organize a lots of group events!! - they can also serve as a basic education for anyone who wants to understand and use respectful language.

These guides have also been helpful to remind me about how I want to shape MY business - based on principles of dignity, respect, inclusion - which is reflected in my commitment to telling stories and histories that have been untold, dismisses it forgotten. I want to go beyond the traditional narratives we think we know about our cities. Experiential tours like Stroll are a great way to learn, shift perspectives, challenge common understanding ha and have some fun while doing it!

If you are a business that is working to be more fully inclusive, SPECTRUM has some great resources to get you started! They do training too!

Also, hugs & high 5s to the Canadian LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce @thecglcc for their stellar tourism focused training workshops! I’ve done several of them & I recommend!

Wednesday was World Tourism Day & I want yo highlight that we can do a lot better to make tourism safe and inclusive for all.
