 foodways and advancing food sovereignty\, with researchers from Concordia 
 University's Centre for Engineering in Society.\n\nThis partnership reimag
 ines how research can be conducted when driven by community priorities. Jo
 in us to explore how traditional knowledge and academic research can come 
 together to support Indigenous self-determination and foster deeper connec
 tions between communities and universities.\n\nRegister here or drop by
