Last week representatives from 12 different post-secondary institutes came to GFK and gave presentations to the grade 10-12 students. (University of Regina, University of Saskatchewan, SK Polytechnic (SIAST), Olds College, Mount Royal University (Calgary), Assiniboine College, Brandon University, Briercrest College, SK Apprenticeship Program, Minot State University, the Canadian Military, and Lethbridge University) The students had opportunities to ask questions and to meet one-on-one with these school advisors to find out more about the courses, costs, and pre-requisites related to their institutions. The institutions supplied calendars and information packages to interested students. It was a great day for students to find out more about many post-high school options.
