Staff, students and faculty intermingled with representatives from community-based organizations that included\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bruyere.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bruy\u00e8re Continuing Care<\/a>, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentalhealthcommission.ca\/English\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mental Health Commission of Canada<\/a>, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.octevaw-cocvff.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ottawa Coalition to End Violence Against Women<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ottawa.impacthub.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Impact Hub Ottawa<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ottawamission.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ottawa Mission<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUltimately this whole event is intended to allow you to connect with one another, to meet somebody new and to think what might come of that,\u201d said Andr\u00e9e, who also chairs\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/edc\/faculty-and-instructors\/community-engaged-pedagogy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carleton\u2019s Committee on Community Engaged Pedagogy (CCEP)<\/a>.

A forthcoming CCEP report will encapsulate the lessons learned and best practices discussed in the workshops that covered topics like health promotion, safety and reducing crime, social justice, Indigenous partnerships, accessibility, and food systems.<\/p>\n<p>At the lunch break, Provost and Vice-President (Academic) Jerry Tomberlin awarded a $500 prize to Victoria Bond, the winner of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/communityengagement\/student-videos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a student video competition<\/a>\u00a0on her and her health sciences classmates community engagement activities.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.carleton.ca\/story\/community-connection-research-innovation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read the rest of the article here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On March 27, 2019, the Carleton Community Engaged Pedagogy group (with support from CFICE and others) held their 5th annual\u00a0Carleton U Community Connections networking event meant to help community members, faculty, staff and students network for future community-campus engagement opportunities.
