Third-year Bachelor of Business Administration Co-op student Emma Belward spent time volunteering in Start Me Up Niagara's community garden as part of Brock Cares Alternative Reading Week. The program, which encourages students to give back to the community while on some downtime from classes, welcomed 22 volunteers who helped in community gardens, removed invasive species with the Bruce Trail Conservancy and helped prepare grains and spices for Brock's Food First Pop-Up Markets. Alternative Reading Week events take place during the fall and winter reading breaks. For more information, visit the Community Engagement and Volunteering page on ExperienceBU.
