  • Brock returns to Canada’s largest comic and gaming event

    Thursday, August 31, 2017 | By

    For the second year in a row, Brock has a significant presence at the four-day convention that runs from Friday until Sunday in Toronto. Similar to ComicCon, Fan Expo Canada appeals to fans of comics, sci-fi, horror, anime and gaming.

    Brock has a booth in the MTCC’s south building, where it will be in a high-traffic area close to Universal Studios, Cartoon Network and Showcase. The 20×20 booth includes two large video screens. The recruitment team has designed both a twelve-page comic book that tells the Brock story, as well as Cube Pals, three-dimensional paper figures of Isaac Brock and Boomer the Badger, plus a set of accessories for both.

    The focus will be on the programs and departments at Brock that would appeal to typical Fan Expo goers the most, such as the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts, Communication, Pop Culture and Film, Computer Science and the new programs in Game Design and Game Programming. Read the full story here
