🌿 Calling BIPOC residents of Peterborough! 🌿

The CGSJ and the CRRC are partnering with the School of Environment at Trent University to help spread the word about an important research initiative focused on environmental racism. Here's a message from the researcher:

I'm Khad, a grad student at Trent University, working with Dr. Stephanie Rutherford on a research project exploring environmental injustice and environmental racism in our community.

We're collecting oral histories to highlight how these systemic issues affect BIPOC well-being in Peterborough. Interviews are 60–90 mins, and you’ll receive a $100 honorarium for your time.

If you are interested in being a part of this study, please fill out the survey in the or bio.
