Community Advisory Council

Supporting the work to make a stronger Columbus

The CAC, with representations from Community-Based Organizations, Community-Based Ethnic Organizations, population-based coalitions and commissions, and mainstream stakeholders will be charged with providing guidance, feedback and expertise throughout the project.

 

CAC representatives have established relationships with different immigrant and refugee groups, and the broader stakeholder groups, and will ensure community engagement to support the research efforts to identify opportunities to deepen the sense of inclusion and belonging within these diverse communities that now call Columbus home.
