• August 3 and 4 – Lane Swims from 10 am-Noon
• August 16 and 17 – Lane Swims from 10 am-Noon

As with any major sporting event, accreditation is required to access spaces being utilized for these events. At the Walker Sports Complex, all who access need accreditation. Beginning Friday, July 22, staff at “the Cage” will be placing an accreditation sticker onto your ID card that you will need to show during Games time, for entry. Note – if you have not gotten this accreditation before the Games begin, we will assist you when you come to work out.

Entry to the Walker Sports Complex by Brock students and members should be via the west doors by the Tennis Courts during the Games. We will have signage in front of the Walker Sports Complex to direct you to the appropriate entry.

We are required to not use the locker rooms during the Games, except for the four swim times. Please come dressed for your activity. Washrooms are all available. Lockers are available in the hallway on the way to the Zone (please bring your own lock).

Accreditation will be needed for access through Walker Complex and the Residence buildings.

You do not need accreditation to access the Goodman School of Business, however, we ask that you enter through the east side doors as the atrium will be an accredited-only area.

The Criterium is a face paced road cycling race around a short loop. The course is taking place solely on Brock’s campus on Saturday, Aug. 20 with training occurring on Friday, August 19th.

During these two dates, there will be road closures that impede traffic flow from the West side of campus to the East and vice versa. It is recommended that if you are not required to work these dates you avoid campus. This event is free and open to the public should you wish to come and watch the race.

The main entrance to Brock will be closed for the following dates and times:

• Friday, Aug. 19, 9:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.
• Saturday, Aug. 20, 1 p.m. – 8 p.m.

During this time, the following map will outline the lots that are accessible and the point of entry you can use to access them. We highly suggest avoiding campus on this day if possible, or parking in Zone 1 and walking to your destination to avoid getting stuck in a parking lot during this time.
