A CBRCanada Live Discussion: During COVID-19: A Time to Pause – Jan. 27, 2022

A week following the webinar, “During COVID-19: A Time to Pause”, CBRCanada invites members to participate in a live discussion and explore how to integrate webinar learnings. Webinar presenters will ask questions for participants to discuss in small groups. The event will end with a big group discussion and everything will be recorded live in a Google doc. We will reflect, problem solve and support each other as we grapple with these important issues raised during the webinar.

This Fall and Winter 2021-2022, CBRCanada is linking webinars with live discussions on the theme of community-based research and COVID-19. If you missed the webinar live, you can also watch the webinar recording (posted here), which will be posted before the live discussion.
