This paper describes the use of SenseMaker® to understand the evolving impacts of COVID-19 on ethnocultural communities to inform intersectoral advocacy and community action. In 2020, The Illuminate Project used participatory action research, including SenseMaker, to collect 773 narratives in Edmonton, Alberta. They identified that cultural brokering and community social capital are key supports for people during the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings can inform policy to reduce harm and support community resiliency.
