Projects
CCBR typically has 15-20 ongoing projects and has completed over 500 projects since 1982. Each project is guided by our commitment to impacting social change in practical and powerful ways. We conduct research with people not on people, cultivating respect with communities at every step of the process.

CCBR supported Food Banks Canada (FBC) in strengthening its capacity to meaningfully, equitably, ethically, and sustainably design and facilitate a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) to support evaluation, program design, research, and advocacy efforts.
This work focused on helping FBC explore the purpose and structure of a CAC, including goal setting, facilitation approaches, recruitment and membership processes, and compensation practices.
Particular attention was given to equitable and accessible engagement strategies that meaningfully foregrounded lived experience in the design and ongoing operation of the committee.
Through this project, FBC built its internal capacity to navigate challenges, facilitate collaborative learning, and use community advisory processes to support ongoing organizational improvement. At the same time FBC was able to lean on CCBR’s depth of expertise in CAC development, facilitation, and administration for guidance, trouble-shooting, and vision-setting.
