The ethical principle 'do no harm' should be the foundation for all the work we do as community practitioners and researchers. However, sometimes in our quest for getting 'good data' we forget to put all the safeguards in place to protect the confidentiality, privacy and the vulnerability of community members engaged in research. This workshop will focus on ethical dilemmas commonly presented in community-based research. Case studies of real life examples will be used.
The Wellesley Institute

In a fast, complex and changing urban socio-economic environment such as Toronto, there is a growing need among stakeholders, researchers, community members and health professionals to attain information via interviews. We will explore how to design different types of questions, probing techniques and data management. | ||

Advocacy is about creating large-scale change. Advocates have a strong desire and passion to change society for the better. Acting on their passion and vision, they move beyond wishing that things would change to putting their words into action. This is a hands-on workshop on how to do it! It will introduce the topic, explain the process, and through step by step instructions, tools and experiential learning exercises, transmit the knowledge needed to undertake an advocacy campaign. | ||

REGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT IS NOW CLOSED The Wellesley Institute is joining with the University of Toronto’s Cities Centre to sponsor a day-long forum on inclusionary housing zoning. There has been a near-record number of new homes built in Toronto and other Canadian municipalities in recent years. Only a tiny fraction of them are truly affordable to low and moderate-income households. Even middle-income households are increasingly being squeezed out of private housing markets. Hundreds of municipalities across the United States are using inclusionary zoning to create affordable homes. We want to hear about that extensive experience and learn about the strengths and limitations of inclusionary zoning. After hearing practical details from municipal and non-governmental experts from the U.S., this forum will look at the possibilities of applying the American experience to Canadian municipalities. | ||
