The ongoing virtual series will kick off at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 22 with guest speaker Robyn Bourgeois, Acting Vice-Provost, Indigenous Engagement at Brock University, who will discuss the connection between the land, body and traditional knowledge.

The series aims to showcase a diverse collection of renowned environmental leaders and is part of Brock and Niagara Parks’ ongoing collaboration and support through the Excellence in Environmental Stewardship Initiative. 

In recent years, this has included the development of the Niagara Parks Environmental Stewardship Strategy and Action Plan, in addition to providing Brock faculty and students access to Niagara Parks properties such as the Niagara Glen to complete important environmental research and engagement initiatives.

Both partners hope to announce additional speakers as a part of this ongoing series in the coming months.
