Information Session : Greenfield Research and Innovation Fund

Researchers!

Join us for a FREE information session to learn about the NEW Greenfield Research and Innovation Fund.  

This funding is open to all sectors and will build on applied research (AR) and strengthen our regional partnerships to respond to the health, economic and environmental crises brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change. College researchers will lead these multi-partnered initiatives in collaboration with the private sector, public sector, or not-for-profit organizations based in Canada while encouraging partnerships with universities and other colleges. 

In association with regional partners, the Greenfield Research and Innovation (R&I) Fund will develop impactful programs that engage underrepresented communities in research and provide enhanced training to students and emerging researchers (ER).

Webinar: Restorative Justice for Sexual Harm: Why I Fought for a Circle, Not a Courtroom

Join the Consent Peer Education Program as we invite Marlee Liss to share her experiences with the restorative justice system as it relates to sexual violence and harm.

In 2019, Marlee's sexual assault case became the first in North America to conclude with restorative justice through the courts. She fought for the man who raped her to go to therapy instead of criminal trial and eventually, they met in an eight-hour restorative circle. After sharing with the media, her inbox began filling with thousands of messages from survivors sharing their stories and why they wish they'd known about restorative justice. Marlee takes a vulnerable and educational approach to talking about this alternative to the punitive system.

The focus throughout the program is to inspire folks to create a vision of justice that is synonymous with healing through informative storytelling. In an environment rooted in hope and empowerment, listeners learn about this justice pathway that breaks cycles of harm and ignites cycles of healing.
