MacEwan University and Boyle Street Community Services have signed a memorandum of understanding with the goal of better understanding and supporting vulnerable communities in Edmonton. The agreement will provide work-integrated learning opportunities for students as well as research opportunities relating to problems facing the individuals served by Boyle Street. The MOU formalizes an existing partnership between the two institutions, who have collaborated in the past to help the vulnerable in Edmonton. President of MacEwan Annette Trimbee cited MacEwan’s location as a driver of the collaboration: “This agreement is important to the university and to Boyle Street. But I believe it is equally as meaningful to the communities we are a part of. We are both ‘in the mix’ downtown and are key to building thriving communities.”
