We would like to inform the Niagara Community that the Brock Social Justice and Equity Program will not be hosting The Niagara Social Justice Forum for 2011-2012. Unfortunately, the substantial human and monetary resources
required to host the Forum are not accessible to us this year. This is a decision for 2011-2012 only. We will be considering hosting the Forum in 2012-13. We appreciate your support and participation in previous years and
look forward to seeing you again in the near future.

In the meantime, the SJES program is planning other exciting activities that will bring together people seeking to learn about and act on concerns related to social justice and equity issues.

Please keep in touch in the upcoming months. We will send out details early in the New Year.
