The School of Environmental Design and Rural Development renewed its partnership with the Gateway Centre of Excellence in Rural Health on October 30, 2024. The new five year memorandum of understanding continues to promote opportunities for research, evaluation, and knowledge mobilization among students and faculty members in the School and across the university. 

The Gateway Centre of Excellence in Rural Health is an organization focused on improving health outcomes in rural communities. Gateway leads research, education, and the implementation of innovative healthcare practices tailored to the specific needs of rural communities. Gateway collaborates with various stakeholders, including healthcare providers, local governments, community organizations, and universities to address health disparities and enhance access to care in rural areas. 

Over the past years, SEDRD students and faculty have partnered on multiple research initiatives with Gateway. One illustration of this engagement is the Gateway Lecture Series. Check out previous Gateway lectures involving SEDRD students, alumni, and faculty.
