Laura Cameron contributed to Sustainable Canada Dialogues from 2014–2015 via her Biology honours thesis project. Specifically, Laura helped implement a participatory method known as “visioning” to ensure that the needs and desires of Canadians agree with proposed solutions for sustainability. Laura examined past initiatives that used similar citizen-based methods to determine communities’ desires for the future and conducted a meta­-analysis of desired futures created by communities across Canada with the aim of identifying regional commonalities in communities' visions.
