MEDIA ADVISORY: April 23 2024 – R0053

Brock University and the Niagara Parks Commission are strengthening their partnership to support environmental stewardship, cultural heritage and experiential learning in the community.

Media are invited to attend an event Monday, April 29 at 3:30 p.m. that will see the two organizations formally renew their partnership with an enhanced Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

The Niagara Parks Commission is committed to protecting the natural and cultural heritage along the Niagara River for the enjoyment of area residents and visitors.

A previous MOU signed by the two institutions spanning from 2018 to 2023 engaged the University’s Environmental and Sustainability Research Centre and included research collaborations, experiential education opportunities, reports and program development. The new five-year agreement builds on this foundation, including more expansive academic focuses and community impacts such as cultural heritage and communications, in addition to continued environmental stewardship efforts.

During the event, leaders from Brock and Niagara Parks will showcase past partnership successes and upcoming areas of focus to highlight the importance of this strategic engagement and its impact on the region.

The in-person event will take place at Queenston Heights Restaurant in Niagara-on-the-Lake. To RSVP, fill out the online registration form.
