Sent on behalf of Callum French.

Good afternoon,

The Canadian Queer Medical Students Association (CQMSA) is a national organization that connects and advocates for 2SLGBTQ+ medical students across Canada. One of the ways we do this is through our Steering Committee, which brings together student representatives from each Canadian medical school to share experiences, support advocacy efforts, and help guide CQMSA's national work.

We are currently seeking a medical student from the University of Manitoba to serve as the school's CQMSA representative. The role involves attending one virtual Steering Committee meeting per month (approximately one hour) and acting as a liaison between CQMSA and the UManitoba medical student community. Representatives are also welcome to take on or join any additional involvement in projects or advocacy initiatives they are interested in.

If you are interested, please send an email to info@cqmsa.orgmailto:info@cqmsa.org (or email me at cmfrenc1@ualberta.camailto:cmfrenc1@ualberta.ca) by February 20th with 2-3 sentences explaining why you would like to join and your involvement with advocacy in the queer community, if applicable. Interested students will be contacted and invited to attend our next Steering Committee meeting on February 22nd.

We would love to ensure the University of Manitoba is represented and involved in this national community.

Looking forward to hearing from you all, - Callum French (he/they) University of Alberta Medical Student | Class of 2028 Canadian Queer Medical Students' Association (CQMSA) Administration Portfolio Lead | 2025-2026 cmfrenc1@ualberta.camailto:cmfrenc1@ualberta.ca
