The collaborative partnership between Brock and Community Care was formalized in May 2019, with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding at the community organization’s St. Catharines headquarters. 

It further strengthens an alliance between Community Care, which has been serving St. Catharines and Thorold for 100 years, and Brock, a local institution for more than half a century.

“This partnership enables us to make further contributions to supporting vulnerable populations in St. Catharines and Thorold. It will allow us to build on our existing partnership with Community Care and expand positive outcomes for the Niagara community.”

Gervan Fearon

President, Brock University 

“Strengthening this partnership will greatly enhance the services and supports to the agency, not only through experiential learning, but also through the active research component which will inform our future program delivery.”
