CRIR’s RehabMALL initiative highlighted by the FRQS
Alexis Nihon: a living rehab lab
On October 5, 2021, the Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQS) presented the article “Alexis Nihon: a living rehab lab” on its website, a project that aimed to study and make the Alexis Nihon shopping center more accessible and inclusive.
With the collaboration of a team of over 40 CRIR researchers, ex-CRIR Scientific Directors Eva Kehayia (McGill) and Bonnie Swaine (UdeM) were able to achieve their objectives.
