Q-Elders Project: Call for nominations, 2025
In 2024 Dignity Seniors Society (DSS) launched the Q-Elders Project with the celebration of five courageous and inspirational 2SLGBTQIA+ elders.
DSS is inviting nominations from our communities to identify the next cohort of Q-Elders. Who do you wish to honour for their leadership, altruism, and courage?
Nominees must:
identify as part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities
be a resident of British Columbia
be living at the time of nomination (no posthumous nominations)
meet the definition of a Q-Elder per the project’s Terms of Reference
DSS strives to include 2SLGBTQIA+ elders in B.C. with diverse identities, backgrounds and experiences.
To nominate someone, please see our Guidelines for more information.
Deadline for nominations is April 15, 2025.
If you have questions, please contact info@dignityseniors.org
This year’s Q-Elders will be announced in June 2025 to coincide with the anniversary of the Stonewall Revolution.
