We were thrilled to have so many amazing community partners show up and contribute to the discussion on how research on health inequities can be done differently.
If you are an organization that missed this opportunity but wish to contribute, please contact us :)
Thanks to many great partners @613comhouses for hosting a round table discussion about the importance of environmental justice and its impact on disenfranchised communities.

We had a great conversation with our City Councillor on ways we can make our park even better- thankful to have our voices heard! ❤️ Excited for the next steps! #workingtogetherforabettertomorrow #CommunityVoice #OpenDialogue" @RiverWardRiley
Building capacity at the neighbourhood level to support people in times of crises. If we have learned anything from the last 5 years, it's the importance of localized supports!
We are so thankful for the Ottawa FoodBank-Strategies in Action grant and IODE Laurentian Chapter fundraising that enabled us to put an emergency preparedness plan into action and make sure no more food goes to waste due to power outages 🙏 #nomorefoodwaste #generator

Every night, over 60 people are sleeping on chairs because no beds are available. 275 people are sleeping outside, and Ottawa anticipates that 70% of this group will need to access shelter when winter hits our city. startswithhome.ca/ottawa_s_h… >

Thank you @OttCommFdn for making child and youth summer nutrition possible for our communities this year - the flexibility of this funding has allowed our member agencies to take an individualized approach to meet community needs. 😎☀️🍏🍊🥪🥙🍞🫑💕
Our campers enjoyed the tasty daily meals distributed at the summer camp!
We would like to salut all who made this possible @Food4Ottawa, @OttCommFdn, @ottawacity, @OttawaFoodBank @613comhouses, @OttawaKiwanis & Nutrition Blocs 👏💫
The OCCH Photo Project was in motion @ConfedCrt1 - youth learned a bit about aperture today and tested out some new lenses in the community. So much raw talent - we are excited to see what comes next :)
