Good Neighbour Guide<\/a>, which provides helpful information about neighbourhood relations, getting involved in the community and student gatherings during a pandemic.<\/p>\n\u201cWe are excited to welcome students back to our community,\u201d said Tanya Bradley, Brock\u2019s Manager, Student Engagement.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough the Welcome Wagon initiative, we are able to have conversations with students related to being a good neighbour, making responsible choices while living off campus, and understanding their rights and responsibilities as student tenants,\u201d she said. \u201cWe also acknowledge that the community students are returning to looks different this year, with COVID-19 safety measures in place to ensure we are keeping ourselves and our communities safe.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bradley said the Welcome Wagon allows the University to \u201cemphasize the important role we all play in making good choices on and off campus, so we can preserve the in-person experiences we have all missed over the past year and a half.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rox Chwaluk, Brock\u2019s Co-ordinator, Off-Campus Student Engagement, said students overall were \u201cvery receptive\u201d to the neighbourhood visit.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe received a lot of questions about garbage and parking regulations, so it was beneficial to be able to speak with them in person to provide those answers,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
In addition to the recent in-person Welcome Wagon, Brock\u2019s Off-Campus Living team will host a series of workshops, information sessions and neighbourhood visits during September with a focus on welcoming students to the Niagara region,\u00a0living off-campus and promoting good neighbour behaviours.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will also have a social media campaign to highlight information and resources to ensure students living off campus have a positive experience and are able to make a positive impact in the community,\u201d Chwaluk said.<\/p>\n
