September-October 2025
In the fall, the Regional Fairs travel across Ontario, offering fair-style events in most Ontario regions. All events are free to attend.
What Are Regional Fairs?
- The Regional Fairs allow you to gather information about Ontario’s universities, including programs, campus life and anything else that may help you decide which Ontario university to choose.
- During these events, university representatives connect directly with hundreds of students and their supporters.
- Events are held at local high schools, universities and community venues.
- The Regional Fairs are typically 1-3 hours long and each university has an exhibit table staffed by 1-2 representatives.
