Workshop: Community Based Research in Rural and Remote Communities

University of Victoria: Thursday, January 21st, 2010

University of Northern BC in Prince George: Monday, January 25th, 2010

or remotely via WebEx

These workshops will start with a panel of three senior researchers who will discuss their experiences with Community Based Research in rural and remote communities. Following the panel discussion and a Q&A period there will be an opportunity for junior researchers to engage further with senior researchers in a Mentorship Round Table session.

For those members unable to attend in person, the panel discussion will be broadcast live online via WebEx. WebEx is a real-time web-based conferencing tool that will allow you to join us from around the province.
