Community Projects

Yes, I have just finished a SSHRC funded project to study the experiences of place for aged-in-place persons and in-migrants on Vancouver Island. In addition, I worked with Dr. Karen Kobayashi in Sociology to develop a profile on socially isolated older adults living in small town and small city British Columbia. Also, I am working with several other Vancouver Island liaisons on research with relevance to local communities.

Community Collaborations

A few years ago I worked with the United Way, Meals-on-Wheels coordinator.

I also do work on the need for rehabilitation services among stroke survivors and their caregivers on Vancouver Island
