Our Purpose is to improve the conditions of Niagara's seasonal workers by building relationships, welcoming them into the community, and providing alternative social spaces outside of the farms. We'd like to develop bridges of understanding and respect between offshore workers and Brock students. We want to encourage working partnerships on different projects and social events for the workers. By educating and encouraging relationships, we hope that the students will volunteer their services when most of the workers will arrive between February and April.
