Ottawa, Canada - Fulbright Canada, in partnership with the Maple Leaf Foundation, is proud to announce the 2026 recipients of the Community Action Program (CAP) grant, an initiative that empowers Fulbright and Killam alums to translate academic insight into meaningful, community-driven impact across Canada and the United States.
This year’s recipients exemplify the program’s mission: bridging research and lived experience to address pressing social, environmental, and public health challenges through innovative, community-based projects.
Among the awardees is Dr. Pascale Fournier, a Fulbright Scholar and professor at the University of Ottawa, whose project, From Law to Living Knowledge, brings law students into direct engagement with Indigenous communities at the KWE! Festival in Quebec City. By moving beyond legal theory into lived experience, the initiative fosters a deeper understanding of identity, belonging, and reconciliation.
