CCBR supported United Way of Greater Toronto to conduct this study to understand the experiences of African asylum seekers arriving in Peel, Toronto, and York regions in connecting and interacting with complex support systems throughout their journeys. The project's intent is to formulate recommendations to inform actions for improving system services for asylum seekers at various levels.

CCBR engaged with federation members and folks with lived experience in rural and northern communities across Canada to identify gaps in the provision of mental health and substance use health services. The work was guided by a Steering Committee composed or people living and working in rural areas and the north. Findings were intended to support the creation of a rural and remote mental health strategy led by CMHA.

CCBR supported HIPC in designing and delivering a community forum that invited newcomers and newcomer service providers to be involved in learning about and determining local community priorities. The event facilitated both knowledge sharing and relationship building. The goal was to ground the community’s priority setting and action planning in the experience and vision of the community members most impacted.

CCBR worked with the Senior Leadership of Food Banks Canada (FBC) to develop a Theory of Change guided by stakeholders across Canada. This Theory of Change sets the stage for FBC to plan and evaluate its activities in collaboration with the network of provincial associations with which Food Banks collaborates, and over 4,750 affiliate food banks.
