Welcome Weeks
Welcome to Assiniboine!
As a new student attending Assiniboine, we are so excited to have you join our community and begin your educational journey with us. We have many events and activities scheduled to make your first few weeks at college one to remember. These opportunities will give you the chance to get to know other students and staff, settle in and really kick off your college experience!
Below, you'll find a calendar of events and happenings around our various campuses, but this isn't everything! Many campuses and programs have orientation and other welcome events planned throughout the first month of classes (or even prior to classes) that may not be reflected here. Please also note that our Cultural Centres remain open for students and provide a comfortable, welcoming environment for students to relax and mingle.
