Equitable, just, and sustainable communities advanced by community research.
We respectfully acknowledge that the Community-Based Research Canada (CBRCanada) Secretariat is located on unceded land promised to the Six Nations of the Grand River in the Haldimand Treaty in 1784, and on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabe and the Haudenosaunee peoples. CBRCanada stands with First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities and is committed to embracing Indigenous knowledge systems and Indigenous-led research to advance justice and reconciliation.
