Community of Practice
We are developing a new virtual community of practice (CoP) for 2SLGBTQ+ healthcare professionals working in cancer care to share ideas, learn from each other, and work toward positive change. In these challenging and uncertain times it is more important than ever to create a space where our advocacy is fostered, and our community supported.
About the group
Although our focus is on supporting queer, trans and gender diverse folks, we warmly welcome allies and 2SLGBTQ+ people with lived cancer experience.
Beginning in October, Zoom sessions will be held quarterly for one hour. Each session will be a mix of learning, connection and sharing. We will evaluate as we go, and are open to changing format, timing and topics depending on participant feedback.
We hope that you can join us!
“Welcome. It matters that you are here, it matters that you are doing important work in this space. We are glad you could join with us in community. We hope that what we talk about in this virtual room will uphold, inform and support you when you leave here today.”

Building strength and community for 2SLGBTQ+ healthcare professionals.
We welcome you to actively explore how to build connection in cancer care for 2SLGBTQ+ healthcare professionals. We will talk about provider pressures and the impacts of cis-heteronormative systems. How can we care for ourselves and each other? How can we develop tools to create meaningful moments of connection and support for our patients?
Discussants: Laura Imayoshi (Community Partner, Queering Cancer) and Alphonse Daniel (Social Work Student, Princess Margaret Sexual and Gender Diversity in Cancer Care Program)
Please register for the CoP mailing list and we will send you meeting details and a link to join.
