Lakeland College is opening its doors to prospective students, families and community members during its annual Open House on Oct. 16 and 17.
The event will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at both the Lloydminster and Vermilion campuses, giving visitors an opportunity to explore more than 50 programs and learn about post-secondary options available at the college.
Throughout the two-day event, guests will be able to meet instructors, current students and academic advisors while touring Lakeland’s classrooms, labs, shops, studios and other hands-on learning spaces. Depending on the campus and program area, visitors may also tour residence spaces, the Student-Managed Farm and the Energy Centre.
Experience campus life
According to Lakeland College, Open House is designed to help future students experience campus life firsthand and explore potential career paths before choosing a program.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to apply to Lakeland for free during the event, learn about admission requirements and student supports, enter prize draws and take home Lakeland promotional items. Certain conditions apply to the free application offer.

Lakeland offers programs in agriculture, business, energy, environmental sciences, fire and emergency services, health and wellness, human services, interior design technology, trades and university transfer studies.
