SUMMARY:Bringing the Human Back into Research: Meaningful Research Relationships with Inuit Communities in Nunavut
DESCRIPTION:The next edition of the PCWHC Grand Rounds welcomes the Inuit Perinatal Health Hub! On June 24 at 12 p.m. EDT\, the Hub will share insights associated with meaningful and relational research engagement with Inuit communities. Join us for an engaging session on how research can be grounded in lived experience\, dialogue and reciprocity.  \nThrough conversation and storytelling\, speakers and participants will reflect on what it means to engage in research within Nunavut communities\, how northern communities experience health and social systems\, and the role of the Inuit Perinatal Health Hub in fostering collaborative\, community-based work.  \nThe discussion challenges extractive approaches that tokenize and treat communities as sources of data. It will emphasize the importance of relationships based on distinct histories\, identities and experiences. Particular attention will be given to the differences between building relationships in Nunavut compared to southern contexts\, and to the importance of bringing humanness\, accountability and care into research. \nAttend here!

SUMMARY:Survivor’s Rights in the Criminal Justice System: Reclaiming Power\, Demanding Change
DESCRIPTION:Join AVA on Wednesday\, June 24th\, as the AVA Webinar Series presents Survivor’s Rights in the Criminal Justice System: Reclaiming Power\, Demanding Change\, featuring Carrie Low\, founder of Carrie Low Training and Consulting. \nWednesday\, June 24th\, 2026 \n2 – 3:30pm EDT \nSurvivor’s Rights in the Criminal Justice System: Reclaiming Power\, Demanding Change\, is a 60-minute survivor-led\, trauma- and violence-informed session grounded in Carrie’s lived experience and advocacy work. It explores the gap between survivors’ rights on paper and the reality of systemic injustice\, highlighting how the criminal justice system often retraumatizes rather than protects. Through personal storytelling\, critical reflection on institutional failures\, and a call for transformative\, survivor-led change\, this presentation invites advocates\, educators\, and community members to move beyond awareness toward action. A 30-minute interactive Q&A will follow\, and attendees will receive a toolkit of post-webinar resources to support continued learning and advocacy. \nAbout the Speaker \nCarrie Low is a sexual assault survivor and accomplished activist & advocate for survivors’ rights in the criminal justice system in Nova Scotia and across Canada. After a violent sexual assault in 2018 and severe systemic failures in the police response\, she pursued legal and oversight processes that helped extend the time frame for municipal police complaints and pushed for more survivor-centred\, accountable policing. She founded Survivors for Change and Empowerment\, a community-based program through Carrie Low Training and Consulting\, and her story is featured in the CBC investigative podcast Carrie Low Vs.\, which documents both the mishandling of her case and her fight for justice. In early 2022\, Carrie co-founded My Voice\, My Choice\, a national initiative that successfully advocated for reforms to publication bans under section 486.4 of the Criminal Code\, contributing to Bill S-12 and strengthening survivors’ ability to avoid unwanted publication bans that silence them. Despite ongoing challenges in her own case and limited funding since January 2024\, she continues this work largely on a voluntary basis\, using advocacy and public speaking to promote trauma-informed practices and meaningful justice for all survivors. \nAttend here!
