WHAT IS SHORELINE COLLABORATIVES?

Shoreline Collaboratives is a consultancy that supports small to midsize organizations to identify and address gaps between values and practice, in order to build intersectional spaces that reflect, serve, and are truly led by all members of our communities. As a collective, we work together to amplify the expertise and skills of our clients and partners through strengthening relationships, resourcing anti-oppression and equity work, training, coaching, policy, and peer exchange from the individual to the organizational level. 

We focus on sharing and co-building skills, reflective practices, and structures into organizations and leaving them there. Our model builds tools for action within organizations from the individual to policy level; acknowledging that the culture of the organization is built by individuals, and that organizational policies and procedures must set the standard for equity and anti-racism.

HOW IT BEGAN

Shoreline Collaboratives started with three lead consultants. Together, we brought 30+ years of in-depth knowledge and practice in equity work.

Today, we are supported by a wide network of additional collaborative partners who bring specific expertise to tailored organizational solutions. Our practice is informed by our relationship to our varying ancestral territories, and where we live and work - territory of the Wendat, Haudenausaunee, and Anishnaabe, and the treaty territories of the Mississaugas and Chippewa peoples.
