Tuesday 26 May 2015 (Vancouver, BC) – The leader of one of Toronto’s most innovative public agencies will share her insights with a Vancouver audience as the city seeks a site for a new, 10,000-square-foot queer community centre.
Maura Lawless, Executive Director of The 519, will address the Building QMUNITY Consultation Dialogue on May 27, bringing a range of experience in the effective management of LGBTQ positive space. Founded in 1976, The 519 is a City of Toronto agency that has recently expanded its footprint with forays into for-profit consulting and the planned development of The 519 Recreation Centre, the first-of-its-kind municipal facility dedicated to LGBTQ inclusion in sport.
The 519 has more than doubled its revenue over the past six years, even as its core public funding has remained stable. The new QMUNITY facility is being developed with $7 million in funding from Vancouver City Council.
Maura is available to speak to:
