Research with Relevance is a one day event designed to inform, engage and inspire. The Centre for Inclusion and Citizenship invites you to join the conversation about how, together, we can create opportunities to identify, conduct, share, and apply research to promote the full inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities.

The day will include:

• An overview of why research is relevant; why we do it, ways we share it, and how we use it;
• Discussions on how research can increase organizational capacity; how you can collect and analyze information; and how to ensure the meaningful engagement of people with intellectual disabilities in research;
• Presentations on our latest research findings on Individualized Funding, Home Sharing, and Health and Healthcare for Older Adults with Intellectual Disabilities;
• Highlights of the Canadian Inclusive Lives Learning Initiative; and
•  Opportunities to contribute to the development of a provincial research strategy we can undertake in partnerships to move us forward, steadfast and strong.

The participation of self advocates, families, students, service providers, educators, policy makers, and others is welcomed and encouraged.
