Welcome to the soft launch of our Reimagining Livelihoods website. If you have any feedback, please send it through the form on our Engage webpage.
Reimagining Livelihoods is an outreach project from the University of Guelph’s Live Work Well Research Centre to share results from community-engaged research on different forms of livelihoods and how they shape the experiences of diverse people in Canada and around the world.
