    Abstract
    The social fabric of our country has changed considerably over the last decade. In particular, the restructuring of responsibilities has required local municipalities and community organizations to take on major roles: promoting community sustainability, strengthening social services, ensuring adequate housing, celebrating local heritage, integrating minority groups, drafting new policies, and more. As communities struggle to meet these challenges, they have sought the advice and knowledge of university-based researchers. We can see this trend across the country.
     
    Le tissu social de notre pays s'est modifié considérablement au cours de la dernière décennie. En particulier, la restructuration des responsabilités a obligé les municipalités et les organismes communautaires à assumer des rôles importants, notamment soutenir la viabilité des collectivités, renforcer les services sociaux, assurer des logements adéquats, mettre en valeur le patrimoine local, appuyer l'intégration des groupes minoritaires et élaborer de nouvelles politiques, pour n'en nommer que quelques-uns.
