Conference Reflections


The 2025 CRRF Conference was an incredibly fun experience, with practitioners and community members from across Canada and beyond to share their insights on community development. With 80 participants (in person and virtual attendees), we were able to foster networking and build relations with new and emerging scholars.

The Conference Report will be made available shortly, but we did want to highlight some key accomplishments!

First and foremost, congratulations to Nadeesha Dissanayaka (University of Winnipeg) for receiving the First Place Prize in the Poster Competition, as well as Awall Mustapha (Brandon University) for receiving the Second Place Prize for the Poster Competition!
