Dr. Louise Potvin explored the effects of food donation programs on vulnerable communities across four regions of Quebec in her presentation on “Que deviennent les personnes qui utilisent le don alimentaire pour la première fois?” Dr. Anita Koushik addressed the social determinants of health (such as tobacco and physical activity) to improve health outcomes in her lecture on “Nutrition et cancer : fruits et legumes”. The event was held at the Bibliothèque de Côte-des-Neiges and attracted numerous members of the CDNNDG community, including Multicaf, Corporation de Développement Communautaire de Côte-des-Neiges and Université de Montréal. SMRC’s goal for this conference was to facilitate knowledge transfer between research institutions and the wider community, as well as create stronger community ties within the Côtedes-Neiges neighbourhoods. Creating this bridge allows for the knowledge we acquire through the research we do to actively and tangibly benefit community members in a more immediate manner.
