A workshop Jan. 22 will explore research needs and opportunities related to the objectives of the National Urban Park program.
The University of Windsor National Urban Park Hub will host a workshop to discuss opportunities and challenges associated with interdisciplinary and community-engaged research in the proposed National Urban Park on Jan. 22.
Co-principal investigators Catherine Febria of the Healthy Headwaters Lab, Clint Jacobs of the Indigenous Knowledge Table, and Anneke Smit of the Centre for Cities will share their reflections on the core objectives of the National Urban Parks program: conserving nature, connecting people with nature, and advancing reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.
Participants will then explore research needs and opportunities related to the objectives of the National Urban Park program through participatory group-based discussions.
The workshop will run noon to 2 p.m. in the Davidson Conference Room, Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research. It is open to faculty, research staff, graduate students, and community partners.
