An open house at Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Surrey campus runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 12666 72 Ave., Surrey, with free parking and free admission (register on kpu.ca/openhouse).
The event promises education program discovery, activities, tours, prizes, live entertainment and more. “It’s a great way to connect with faculty, alumni, students and staff, and explore the diverse and unique programs offered at the university,” says Dr. Diane Purvey, KPU president and vice-chancellor.
Radio station Rock 101 will broadcast live in the Maple building. Activities include caricature and henna artists, photo booth and roaming magician. Coca Cola Canada and Nando’s are event sponsors, and prizes include two $500 tuition waivers and BC Lions tickets.
