The Village Lab team includes the Village Lab director, Indigenous Elder and knowledge keeper, manager, graduate and undergraduate students and research assistants, research and community program coordinators, and community members.
All of our research projects involve community advisory boards members who are representative of the diverse communities we work with. This includes people living with HIV, sexual and gender minority men and Two-Spirit people, Indigenous people, immigrants and refugees, racialized communities, and people who use drugs.
