Projects
CCBR typically has 15-20 ongoing projects and has completed over 450 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.

Projects
CCBR, in conjunction with Renison University College, conducted a needs assessment to understand, from the perspectives of key stakeholders, the extent and nature of the need for a Master's program in community-based research for social development.
CCBR started teaching the Community Engagement and Social Development course (ISS 450R/SOC 768) for Renison University College in 2010. It highlights the importance of community member participation in matters related to their well-being and methods to encourage community involvement. Students also learn about the role that effective leadership plays in creating and sustaining social innovation.
CCBR started teaching the Participatory Action Research course (ISS 450R/SOC 766) for Renison University College in 2010. The course provides a comprehensive overview of participatory action research as an approach that moves beyond knowledge production toward social action and change.
This project was a needs assessment for an online part-time Masters of Social Work (MSW) program at the School of Social Work, Renison University College in Waterloo, Ontario. It involved data collection via an online survey, analysis and report writing as well as a literature review.
