With the busy exam season approaching, Brock faculty, staff and students are invited to take a break, get some exercise and engage with the community by participating in the St. Catharines, Thorold and Niagara-on-the-Lake holiday parades.<\/p>\n
The parades take place Nov. 18, 24 and Dec. 8, respectively. A Brock float featuring a festive holiday scene will be the centrepiece of the University\u2019s efforts and will be surrounded by warmly dressed volunteers at each event.<\/p>\n
\u201cWalking next to the University\u2019s float is a great way to show Brock\u2019s holiday spirit throughout Niagara,\u201d said Mary Ann Tierney, Brock\u2019s acting Manager of Student and Community Experience.<\/p>\n
Tierney is hoping to see a repeat of the same enthusiasm expressed by Brock walkers in the Niagara Grape and Wine Festival\u2019s Meridian Grande Parade this past fall.<\/p>\n
Along with spreading holiday cheer, students who participate can also track the experience within their Campus-Wide Co-Curriculum transcript<\/a>, under the Brock Spirit domain.<\/p>\n All participants should dress for the weather and be prepared to walk for about one hour.<\/p>\n
