Todd, a \u201cjack-of-all-trades,\u201d worked tirelessly with CFICE and the centre to build bridges between post-secondary institutions and communities for empowered learning, with an end-goal of improving local economic, social, cultural and environmental conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Although he retired from his leadership role with CFICE last October, Todd\u2019s legacy with the action-research project lives on in his accomplishments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur greatest success I think was graduate student involvement,\u201d he said. \u201cThe partnership between CFICE and the Trent community centre provided paid research assistant-ships that have opened the door to working with different community groups here in Peterborough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s one master\u2019s student that sticks out in my mind\u2026her name is Tessa Nasca,\u201d he recalled. \u201cFor research assistants at CFICE\u2026.well it\u2019s kind of like a job on the side for most students, but for Tessa it\u2019s actually now become a fellowship,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa\u2019s work with CFICE directly ties in with her master\u2019s research thesis in sustainability studies and \u201cHappy, Healthy Neighbourhoods\u201d at Trent University. CFICE locked in a two-year funding plan for Tessa, which even became part of her offer of acceptance to Trent University. \u201cA bunch of stars aligned in her favour,\u201d he said. \u201cNow she\u2019s a bit of an entrepreneur here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CFICE is a huge project, Todd said, with many different players and partners. \u201cIt\u2019s not quite there yet, but I hope CFICE will be the start of a community-campus engagement movement that leverages resources to address issues in communities and build collaboration,\u201d he said. \u201cI would hope CFICE can contribute to the bigger conversation, and shift the landscape in how community-campus partnerships address challenges in universities and communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s next for Todd?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Todd plans to continue his work as a social innovator and consultant. He found inspiration and a desire for change in reading Al Etmanski\u2019s book, \u201cImpact: Six Patterns to Spread Your Social Innovation.\u201d In a nutshell, he said, this practical guide summarizes where his future is headed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see myself as a social innovator,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m really interested in good processes that effect positive change in our communities\u2026so I\u2019m going to keep doing that!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Todd made it his mission to catalyze community action through research, and here at CFICE we are very lucky to have had him serve as a\u00a0Community Environmental Sustainability hub co-lead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Lily Haines, KMb RA Five years ago, a research proposal landed on Todd Barr\u2019s desk.
