Fleming College is going to be welcoming thousands of prospective students this weekend.
The annual Spring Open House goes on Saturday at the Sutherland, Frost and Haliburton Campuses from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Aspiring healthcare professionals, budding tradespersons and future community builders can check out Fleming’s workshops, labs and learning spaces.
Officials also say information about financial aid, residence, off-campus housing, and post-secondary life in our campus communities will be available at each campus.
Visitors to the Sutherland Campus can check out the wide array of services available to students, from accessibility to diversity and inclusion services. Take a self-guided tour of the Peterborough Sport and Wellness Centre, and chat with current students about their experiences in a wide range of programs.
At the Frost Campus, Arboriculture students are putting on a tree climbing demonstration while the Fleming Phoenix Loggersports team will showcase their talents. Visitors can also check out insect, wildlife, and fish displays. Guests can enter a contest and win a chance to blow up dozens of watermelons during an explosive demonstration of Fleming’s Blasting Techniques program.
The Haliburton School of Art + Design encourages all visitors to check out live demonstrations and interact with Fleming’s students and instructors during Open House. Future students can check out the student art exhibit taking place in the Great Hall and walk along the adjacent Sculpture Forest Trail.
Those interested in pursuing a career in firefighting can visit the Eastern Ontario Emergency Training Academy in Norwood, and talk to the faculty, staff and students who make up Fleming’s Pre-Service Firefighter Education and Training program.
