New Democrats are gathering in Hamilton for their first national convention since 2018, voting on many policy resolutions, including “gender-affirming care,” funding for LGBT+ organizations, recognizing 1984 anti-Sikh riots in India as a genocide, and standing with Ukraine. 
Among the resolutions that will be considered at the convention are funding plans developed for new and existing LGBT+ organizations to ensure “every major municipal region in Canada has at least one stably funded” organization, according to the NDP’s convention website
