Collaborative Solutions Forum

The 2026 Provincial Health Summit will end the way it began: together. The closing participatory forum, "A Roadmap for Inclusion," is a collective space for dialogue where the learnings, exchanges and emotions of the three days are transformed into concrete action pathways.

Over three days, the Summit brings together health professionals, researchers, community organizations, public decision-makers and members of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. The participatory forum is the moment when all these voices come together to answer one question: how can we make care more equitable, inclusive and accessible for 2SLGBTQIA+ people in a minority Francophone context?

Why take part

This is where ideas take shape. The forum aims to:

• Turn observations into action: moving from the Summit's discussions to shared recommendations.
• Bring diverse voices to the table: health, community, governance, research and, above all, the people most directly concerned.
• Feed the joint declaration: a declaration read, amended and endorsed during the closing ceremony.
• Lay the groundwork for a white paper: a more in-depth document that will carry the Summit's work far beyond the event.

How it works

The forum is facilitated through a participatory and inclusive approach, designed so that everyone can contribute at their own pace and in confidence. Ideas are captured and organized live — a way to make the group's collective intelligence visible by the time the session ends.

Artist Camille Perron-Cormier will create a live graphic recording, turning the reflections and action pathways that emerge from the discussion into images and keeping a vivid visual memory of it.

We pay particular attention to the genuine inclusion of all communities, including 2SLGBTQIA+ people who are racialized, Indigenous, immigrant or from minoritized cultural communities, within a holistic and culturally safe approach to health.

The facilitators

The forum will be led by two experienced facilitators, chosen for their command of collaborative and inclusive approaches.

Sandie Redon (she/her) is Project Coordinator and EDIA+ Integration Lead at the Fédération franco-ténoise. A lawyer, manager, consultant, teacher and trainer, she has developed strong expertise in organizational transformation and change support. She favours approaches grounded in listening, co-creation and the recognition of experiential knowledge.

Lisa Boisneault (she/her) is a project manager, writer and event facilitator working across non-profit, community and institutional settings. Committed to social and climate justice, she has supported many feminist and community organizations, including the Alliance des femmes de la francophonie canadienne and the Regroupement féministe du Nouveau-Brunswick. She holds a master's degree in communication and media studies and also leads workshops on inclusive communications.

Together, they will guide the conversation in a structured and caring way, so that every voice finds its place and ideas converge toward shared priorities.
