Throughout the years, the centre鈥檚 influence has reached well-beyond academia by offering opportunities for researchers, services providers, policy makers, and governmental representatives to develop collaborations within academic and non-academic milieus, giving these actors access to high-quality and sound evidence on which to base their decisions. Our research activities in the centre have had program and policy impact at all levels from local agencies, to departments of social services in several provinces, to Federal agencies and NGOs. The CRCF Impact Report: 12 years and counting illustrates some of the reasons why we are truly unique.听
