Deanna Gonnelly, Student Success and Advising manager with Student Affairs said, “Open House is an excellent opportunity for all high school students, not just those who are about to graduate, to learn more about Lethbridge College.”

“We’re excited to welcome all learners, either in-person or online, so they can explore areas of interest or perhaps discover a new career path.”

Gonnelly added that “Lethbridge College has more than 65 certificate, diploma, applied degree and apprenticeship programs to choose from and many are nationally accredited.”

“There’s something for everyone at LC [Lethbridge College].”

A special session specifically catered to parents and/or guardians of prospective students is being offered from 10:30 to 11:15 a.m. on Saturday, both in-person and online. Participants will get to speak with parents of current Lethbridge College students.

The open house is free to attend, but interested students are being asked to pre-register for a chance to win one of three $500 tuition credits.

Additionally, the $100 application fee will be reduced by 50 per cent between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. on Saturday for anyone who applies to an available program with a Spring 2022, Fall 2022 or Winter 2023 intake.
