Report

This report is the result of an evaluation conducted as a practical learning experience facilitated by the Trent Centre for Community Based Education (TCCBE). The TCCBE invites local organizations and businesses with research projects to work with university students such as ourselves. The purpose of the report is to provide information and recommendations to help guide Green-Up as it builds a new strategic plan.

As an independent, non-profit, student-run business, the cafe has the strong position of being offered a prime location with no rent from Trent University's Otanabee [sic] College Cabinet. This generous donation, combined with technical and financial assistance from student groups and experience and resources from academic departments, gives the cafe a wide and strong background from which to start.

The Peterborough Drug Strategy Task Force is in the process of developing a community based consultation strategy, with the purpose of developing a relevant and evidenced based drug strategy for Peterborough. The purpose of this report is to review available existing community consultations in Ontario linked to the development of a community drug strategy, and to compile research on effective consultation methods for a drug strategy to be developed in Peterborough.

The purpose of this project was to help supplement local YWCA research and inform a local domestic abuse intiative interested in creating a collaborative hub. This report is broken into two sections - a literature review and a research paper, and althought the two, at first, seem unrelated, they are very much connected.
