Community‑engaged research initiative currently taking place at Britannia with a student from UBC’s First Nations and Indigenous Studies Program, conducting her Research Practicum with us. Project title:

“Mapping Indigenous Participation in Britannia Fitness Programs: Community‑Engaged Review for Inclusion and Wellness.”

We are asking for your active support in the project and encouraging Indigenous community members (18+) to participate in:

• A short survey:

• An in‑person Sharing Circle for 15 participants who express interest through the questionnaire

This work is an important step in understanding how Indigenous community members experience movement, recreation, and sport at Britannia. Given that our neighbourhood holds the largest urban Indigenous population in Vancouver, it will also help us understand what our barriers are for Indigenous folks, the experience some may have and how we can better serve the Indigenous Community.
