Celebrating the 2020 Community-University Engagement Support funding recipients

Theme: Collaboration
The Urban Farm in Vancouver’s Downtown East Side neighbourhood, one of this year’s CUES funded community organizations.

The Community-University Engagement Support (CUES) fund has awarded $500,000 to 21 community organizations working with UBC faculty, staff, and students

The 2020/2021-funded projects include a strategy and tools to ethically meet the research needs of the Haida Nation on Haida Gwaii; an urban farm in Vancouver’s Downtown East Side that addresses the acute food security crisis in the neighbourhood resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic; and an initiative that connects ‘peers’ with lived and living experience with people who use drugs in a non-judgemental way to help them navigate supports.

A full list of the successfully-awarded projects is available on the UBC Community Engagement website.

Through Strategy 20: Co-ordinated Engagement, UBC is committed to working with diverse partners to listen, learn and develop shared values for effective engagement, and to reinforce a culture of reciprocity.
