The Bill 7 Award is a prestigious recognition celebrating outstanding 2SLGBTQI scholars in Ontario. Established in honour of Ontario’s Bill 7 (1986), which added sexual orientation to the Ontario Human Rights Code, these awards financially support individuals in post-secondary education to uphold the equality and inclusion intended by the bill.
Purpose
Presented by the Bill 7 Award Trust, the annual ceremony honours students committed to their studies by alleviating financial burdens, helping them achieve their educational goals, and amplifying their positive influence in the community.
The Trust relies heavily on annual donations, with the awards ceremony also serving as a fundraiser for supporting scholarships. By attending or donating, supporters help sustain vital resources for marginalized communities. This year’s ceremony promises inspiring stories, networking opportunities, and a chance to unite for equality. Join us in commemorating Canada’s 2SLGBTQI trailblazers while empowering the next generation of change-makers.
