Campus flags lowered to half-mast to honour victims of Tumbler Ridge tragedy

The flags near Kelley Memorial Building will remain at half-mast until February 17.

Career Fair Headshot Event
Join Campus Life and ExEd on February 26 to get your professional headshot taken! Head to the Campus Life Lounge between 11:00 am to 1:00 pm to level up your LinkedIn profile.
We’re doing things differently this year. Usually, headshots happen during the Career Fair, but we’re hosting this event early, so your photos are ready to use BEFORE the fair begins. You can walk through those doors feeling confident and "LinkedIn ready."
Note: Professional attire is encouraged to ensure your headshot looks its best.
