Egale Canada is a Canadian charity founded in 1986 by Les McAfee to advance equality for Canadian lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBTQ) people and their families, across Canada.[2]
The organization's current executive director is former Toronto politician Helen Kennedy. Past executive directors have included Gilles Marchildon, John Fisher and Kaj Hasselriis.[2] Helen Kennedy is the first woman to head the organization.
Egale is Canada's equivalent of the US' Human Rights Campaign and the UK's Stonewall.
