Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

To craft the draft template for a playbook as the 'final step' of a community based research project. During the Fall 2021 term, students from MacEwan's ethnographic methods class conducted and analyzed interviews with a key stakeholder working at the City of Edmonton. Our goal is to craft a template of the playbook that could be published - as part of the knowledge translation activities of this research project.
