MEDIA RELEASE: 15 January 2019 – R00006

More than 1,500 people attended a town hall hosted at Brock University by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday, Jan. 15. The public event was part of a cross-country tour of town halls, but was the only stop in Ontario.

“Brock University is pleased to have hosted the Prime Minister’s town hall and to welcome the entire community to such an important event,” said Brock President Gervan Fearon. “Brock supports community engagement and development, as well as establishing a forum for dialogue, and tonight’s event was exactly that. It was an opportunity to talk about those important issues for Canadians.”

Select images from the event are attached, but a full gallery of high-resolution images that are free for media use is available here.
