Brock University and the Niagara Parks Commission are strengthening their partnership to support environmental stewardship, cultural heritage and experiential learning in the community, the university says.
An event planned for Monday 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, Brock said in a news release.
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 university said.
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, according to Brock.
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.
