Every year in September, students at public universities and colleges between Oshawa and Ottawa gather for a weekend of fellowship, worship and networking. This weekend serves as a spiritual kick-off to the academic school year and is a blessing to those who attend annually. Students spend the weekend examining their purpose for attending school. Students strive to understand that they are at our school for a higher purpose and to make a difference. That getting a degree, making friends, and starting a career is only the beginning of the collegiate experience.
