Community Based Research Canada Fall Meeting

You are here

Date: 
17 October, 2013

Community Based Research Canada (CBRC) invites you - community, colleges and universities, academics, students, indigenous peoples, NGO's, governments, businesses and funders alike - to join the growing national movement for community based research and campus-community engagement.

Join us at our Annual Meeting in Montreal on October 17th.
 

CBRC builds capacity for academia and the wider community to work together and to use research as a tool to mobilize community, participation and action for positive societal innovation and impact.  


CBRC was founded at the Community University EXPO 2008 in Victoria, which brought together the largest gathering up to that time of community and university researchers, funders and indigenous leaders and scholars in Canadian history.  Since that time, CBRC has focused on leading and supporting research and policy papers, convening annual CBR gatherings and two CUExpo's while developing a nationally and globally connected community of CBR and community-university engagement projects, centres, administrative units and leaders.

The latest CUEXPO 2013 was held in Cornerbrook Newfoundland cuexpo2013.ca , launched by the Governor General David Johnston and fully supported by the Government of Newfoundland, attracted over  400 delegates from throughout Canada  and over 12 countries. CBRC has committed to provide the secretariat support for the next semi-annual CUEXPO 2015 to be held in Ottawa, Ontario.

Plans are underway for an October 17, 2013 all day CBRC General Membership Meeting hosted by UQAM-Université du Quebec à Montreal and their Services aux Collectivites Centre. Sylvie de Grosbois, the vice-Chair of CBRC is the Director / Directrice of the Services aux Collectivites. Details and general announcements will be going out by the end of August 2013.
