Gay Ottawa Volleyball (GOV) is a volunteer, non-profit volleyball league that mainly caters to 2SLGBTQ+ folks and allies within Ottawa. The league provides an inclusive and fun environment but also serves as a healthy social venue for the LGBTQ community.
Wisdom2Action is a 2SLGBTQ+ owned and operated social enterprise and consulting firm specializing in community engagement, creative facilitation, research and evaluation, and knowledge mobilization.
Wisdom2Action (W2A) has been selected by Gay Ottawa Volleyball (GOV) to conduct an equity, diversity, and inclusion review. Wisdom2Action will be consulting with racialized 2SLGBTQ+ members of sports leagues outside of GOV as well as members of GOV through 2-hour focus groups. The purpose of these focus groups is to understand what practices/recommendations existing in other organizations can be implemented within GOV. Ultimately participation in this focus group will support GOV to fulfill its goal to be a safe, inclusive, and encouraging environment for all members regardless of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, income or ability.

In the spirit of reconciliation, Wisdom2Action acknowledges the land on which it was originally established as the traditional and unceded territory of the M’ikmaq, known as Mi’kmak’i (Nova Scotia). Our team is spread across Turtle Island (Canada) on the treaty lands of many First Nations. We recognize the people and the land in this way as part of our commitment to anti-oppression and decolonization. We are all treaty people.
