Khan Rahi is a well known community activist and researcher. He works with some of the most vulnerable people in Canada’s largest city. His use of research evidence to support the development and implementation of practices and policies is a great example of how evidence supports political changes and community improvements. The use of multiple modes of communication and the need for people to carry messages through oral channels is a reminder that, even with the growing trend towards technology, people still look to each other for knowledge and leadership. Although there is lots of background noise in the restaurant where we met, I think there is a strong signal coming from Khan; let’s be transparent, clear, blunt about the issues we are dealing with and then let’s work together to implement solutions. That is really what knowledge exchange is about – isn’t it?
