Community Research Gathering on Urban Wellness

Dr. Cynthia Zutter, Marielle Papin and Ashley Stoltz would like to invite you a community research event at MacEwan University in early September. The purpose of the gathering is to have a thoughtful discussion with members of the Green and Gold Community Garden about the refined results of our community-based research project on urban wellness. We want to include the community’s comments, thoughts, ideas, and perceptions before we move forward with organizing our final results into different research outputs to be shared more widely.

The gathering will be on Wednesday, September 4, 2024 from 6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. in the Roundhouse at MacEwan University (address is 11110 104 Avenue NW, in room 11-159 of the Allard Hall building). Light refreshments will be provided, as well as parking vouchers for MacEwan’s underground parkade if you need. Please carefully read and fill out this form by Monday, August 26 if you wish to attend.

Location: For those of you who haven’t visited before, the Garden is located on the South Campus of the University of Alberta. Enter the University Farm from the east side off 60th Ave. Turn left at the T intersection (118th St) and you’ll see us just across the road from the old barn. On transit – we’re about a 15-minute walk from the South Campus LRT station. A map and further directions to the garden are available at: www.greengoldgarden.com/visit.

See you at the Garden!
