We learned so much about Riverdale and we’re so excited to continue this journey over the next few years!

Three things to know about our Community Advisory Action Board (CAAB) ⬇️

On September 6th the SCORE! Team brought together organizational leads and members from the Riverdale Community for our first CAAB meeting. This meeting was an opportunity to share the goals of our SCORE! Project, and highlight our efforts to collaborate with fellow organizations in Riverdale to develop our potential pilot program for the community.

3 things to highlight:

Our CAAB meetings are a pivotal part of our SCORE! Research project, as building from the voices of those who live and work in the community is our top priority.

Our CAAB meetings are a way to strengthen the way we collaborate with the community on SCORE! Initiatives.

We are excited to begin recruitment for families and children who live in Riverdale to represent our “community voices” arm of the CAAB.



This meeting was happily joined by Chad Collins to share the funding announcement from the Public Health Agency of Canada in support of this project initiative.
