In 2003, the BC Court of Appeal ruled in favour of eight couples who were petitioning for the right to marry. One of those couples included Theresa (Tess) Healy and Wendy Young of Prince George. Join Tess and Wendy as they share their experiences and insights of being leaders in the LGBTQ2+ community.

Claiming Spaces is a collaborative project between Inspiring Women Among Us (at the University of British Columbia), the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ Toward Parity in Municipal Politics program and the City of Prince George. Aiming to engage and support youth from marginalized groups to enter leadership positions, Claiming Spaces provides publicly accessible resources and videos sharing experiences and insights from inspiring Canadian leaders.
