Participants needed for Neighbourhood Study: Join the Chamber CEO at a session
McMaster is seeking volunteers to help determine what makes a neighbourhood vibrant, as part of the Expressing Vibrancy project led by non-profit organization CoBALT Connects.
Through participation in an audience session at McMaster's unique LIVE Lab, volunteers will be asked to view images and videos of neighbourhoods, and provide their responses on distributed tablets. A portion of participants who take part will have their brain waves, heart rate, and breathing rate measured.
This opportunity requires a one-time commitment of about 2.5 hours. High school students participating in a session may count two hours towards their required volunteer hours. Participants must be over the age of 13 and residents of Hamilton. The cost of on-campus parking for participants travelling by car or bus fare will be provided.
Be part of this unique look into Hamilton's neighbourhoods by volunteering for one of the audience sessions:
- Tuesday, May 20th - 10am
- Wednesday, May 21st - 7pm
- Thursday, May 22nd - 1pm (SESSION WITH CHAMBER CEO KEANIN LOOMIS)
- Thursday, May 22nd - 7pm
- Friday, May 23rd - 11am
- Saturday, May 24th - 11am
