Welcome to the future of child health and development at CanChild. As we initiate our five-year journey under our new Strategic Plan, we aim to delve into our mission and strategic drivers designed to transform lives and advance ground breaking research.
Our focus starts with Impactful Research and Knowledge Translation. At CanChild, we are dedicated to addressing the pressing challenges in childhood disability and development through high-quality programs. Our goal is not only discovery but also the practical application of this knowledge in clinical and health system settings.
We also prioritize Intentional Collaboration. Central to our operations, this approach enhances the power of partnerships with students, scientists, and families to co-create solutions. This collaborative effort is essential for driving innovation and ensuring our research and educational programs make a meaningful impact.
Lastly, our Engaged Culture promotes diversity and inclusivity as daily practices, welcoming varied perspectives, especially those of children and their families. This creates an environment where every voice matters and contributes to our mission.
Join us as we lead, listen, and innovate, staying proactive in research, policy, and education to ensure every child can achieve their fullest potential.
The five-year CanChild Strategic Plan reflects our hopes for the future state of CanChild: a centre with a shared purpose, where innovative and impactful child health research is at the heart of what we do, and a centre that is recognized internationally for an environment that cultivates diversity and inclusion, collaboration and partnerships.
In developing the Strategic Plan we consulted our communities and asked critical questions about external factors to which our centre will need to respond, while identifying our strengths that are important to preserve into the future for CanChild.
We listened to ideas from students, staff, scientists, individuals with disabilities and their families, and other stakeholders about their priorities and hopes for the work of CanChild.
