National Doughnut Day Contest

They’re delicious, sold on almost every street corner and considered a symbol of national identity. In recognition of National Doughnut Day, we’re giving away one $50 gift card to Beechwood Doughnuts in St. Catharines.

Niagara’s first and only 100% vegan doughnut shop, Beechwood is located in the heart of downtown St. Catharines. Since opening in January of 2015, they have rapidly increased in popularity and become a destination for local residents. The co-owner of the shop, Tayler Book (BA ’14), is also a proud Brock Alumna.
