New Beginnings

You know it's Spring at King Campus when the osprey returns and the flowers bloom. To mark the season, this year on campus we have the birth of a filly foal, named Kali, to Moondrop, the Veterinary Technician Program's pony mare. Welcome to the Spring semester!

Located in the library, the Learning Centre provides free one-on-one and small group tutoring and workshops on study skills, time management, and exam preparation.
