Now inviting Board of Director Applications

tri-Pride Community Association Inc. is a Pride-based, incorporated grassroots community organization serving 2SLGBTQIA+ communities in the Waterloo Region. For over 30 years, we have been volunteer-driven, volunteer-led, volunteer-imagined, and volunteer-mobilized. From its inception, our organization has been shaped by the people most impacted by marginalization, exclusion, and erasure.

Over three decades, we have built and sustained spaces of Queer joy, connection, resistance, and storytelling, responding organically to community needs rather than through rigid or institutional program models. Our work has fostered belonging, visibility, and collective care for queer and trans people in a region where affirming spaces have often been limited or precarious.

While our community impact has been meaningful and enduring, our team for years has been a small, tireless but unsustainable team of volunteer Board of Directors. We need your gifts, your energy, your capacities, abilities, and time. Would you consider joining us?

What is a Board of Directors?

The Board of Directors plays a critical role in the governance and operations of tri-Pride. tri-Pride does not maintain staff. Every Director role is obligated to the organization and its by-laws and policies. Board of Directors are expected to attend bi-weekly (outside of festival season) and weekly meetings (during festival season).

Equity Statement

tri-Pride is committed to equity and encourages applications from Black, Indigenous, racialized, trans, non-binary, disabled, newcomer, and other equity-seeking community members. We recognize that systemic barriers shape access to employment and leadership, and we value lived experience alongside professional experience.

Accessibility

We are committed to providing accessible hiring and working conditions. Care to better support your needs and engagement are available throughout the recruitment process and during employment. If you require support in completing this form, please reach out to info@tri-pride.ca
