Victoria Council's Committee of the Whole has unanimously passed a recommendation aimed at formalizing a gender inclusive policy statement for the city.
The policy commits the city to making civic facilities, operations and programs safe, inclusive, and equal for Transgender and gender-non-conforming people.
The motion, brought forward by Councillors Jeremy Loveday and Marianne Alto, is intended to lead to changes in many areas including signage and literature, including at public space washrooms and change-rooms; human resource training; and in the way data collection forms and records are collected.
The policy is expected to be approved at tonight's (Thurs) council meeting.
