When students arrived for the fall semester of Providence University College, they were treated to the biggest Welcome Week celebration in the school’s history. The five-day event featured numerous free games and contests, including Giant Battleship, Giant Kerplunk, Bubble Soccer, and Bouncy Jousting. The City Harmonic played a concert on Friday, following a block party and barbecue.

The annual Welcome Banquet took place on Saturday, September 3, and on Monday students and staff drove to Winnipeg to take in a Goldeyes baseball game.

“It feels like Christmas Eve!” said Leshia Knopf, Director of Student Development at Providence in the lead-up to the event. “We have so many exciting events planned for Welcome Week and are eager to finally get the fun started.”

Classes began Tuesday, September 5.
