Knowledge Mobilization & Advocacy
Our Centre actively shares and mobilizes research evidence to inform healthy public policies, services, and upstream solutions geared at advancing health equity. We aspire to create a more inclusive, equitable and healthy society by deepening civic engagement and leading/amplifying advocacy campaigns focused on social determinants of health. The advocacy campaigns we lead or support fall within four domains: Equitable Access to Healthcare; Economic and Employment Security, Anti-Racism and Anti-Discrimination, Fair Access to Immigration.
You can find our Knowledge Mobilizations and Advocacy Framework here.
