Community of Practice
CBRCanada's Community of Practice actively brings together CBRCanada members to learn from each other, network, and exchange best and promising practices for community-based research. Each Community of Practice session is led by a guest speaker(s) from our network to introduce a big challenge/opportunity in community-based research, followed by a facilitated discussion among members.
The group meets the second Friday of every other month. Meetings are one hour, informal, and participatory. We will email you each month with information about the Community of Practice topic and guest speaker and you are welcome to come to as many as you wish. By signing up for the Community of Practice, you will receive re-occurring calendar invitations for the entire year. If you would like to be removed from this group, you can unsubscribe at anytime by emailing info@communityresearchcanada.ca.

“I am appreciating being part of CBRCanada’s Community of Practice. I have been able to connect with community-based research focused faculty and staff at various academic institutions across Canada. I am also learning about resources and non-academic organizations which can be used to facilitate community-based research. These connections and resources are proving to be very valuable in promoting community-based research within my own research centre.”
"I’m glad to meet new people in this field, passionate about community-based research. I felt comforted around my nervousness practicing community-based research."
