Those who attend will be able to learn about the colleges 90 full-time programs and have the possibility to win prizes.
One attendee will even have the chance to win free tuition.
"We get people from all over Ontario," says Buchanan. "It's a good opportunity for students in communities across the province to take the time to come with family and friends and learn what Lambton has to offer."
Virtual tours will be available of Lambton's newest facilities that are under construction; the NOVA Chemicals Health and Research Centre, the new Athletics and Fitness Complex and Centre of Excellence in Energy and Bio-Industrial Technology.
