We received the below from parking services. After word got out that paid evening parking was in effect this year, they seem to have seen some reason. Please keep up the good work telling Brock that we pay enough to park. We want them to consider this for Winter 2025 as well but also for the future of evening parking.
UPDATE:In response to concerns regarding the introduction of paid evening parking on campus, Parking Services will continue to offer complimentary evening parking in Lot 2 for the Fall semester (Sep. 1 to Dec. 24).
Dear Members,
It is disappointing for me to deliver the news about a change that has been made to evening parking at Brock. Your union was neither consulted nor notified of the change. I found out about the change in practice second hand from an undergrad student.
As of September 1, evening parking is now paid parking. A flat rate of $6 will be charged to park at Brock after 6:00 pm.

This negatively affects members who teach in the evening, as well as students and community members who come to Brock in the evening.
Let’s be clear. This is nothing more than a cash grab by Brock!
Feel free to express your displeasure to:
Dr. Lesley Rigg, President and Vice Chancellor: president@brocku.ca
Matthew Laur, Manager of Parking Services: mlauer@brocku.ca
Jennifer Guarasci, Interim Vice President, Administration: jguarasci@brocku.ca
In Solidarity,
Phil Wachel, CUPE 4207 President
