Welcome to OPIRG Brock!
Founded in 1988, OPIRG Brock is a social, economic, and environmental justice organization based in St. Catharines, Ontario. With strong connections established at Brock University, in 2018, OPIRG Brock moved into investing more time and energy into supporting and expanding community initiatives outside the campus to further ensure a broader support network of activism through the region.
Defunded in 2018, in the last four years we have vastly expanded our programming and community connections.
To keep this work going, we need your help with funding. To become a member, a sustainer, or to donate - click the buttons below!
