Events

Waterloo Science alumni, join us and your fellow classmates for the annual Waterloo Science Alumni Ski Days - the event is now over two days for double the fun - at Osler Bluff Ski Club, a beautiful private resort near Collingwood. The Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of Health and the Faculty of Engineering will be joining the outdoor fun so come to ski, snowboard or snowshoe with your fellow classmates and make it a memorable day on the hills to make the most of our beautiful Canadian winter.

A warm thank you to Yeti Agnew (BSc ’75) for hosting the event once again.

Dr. Chris Houser hosts science alumni and friends at the Lamplighter Public House in Vancouver as he presents the “State of Canada’s Coastline”. The evening will combine his lecture with an informal, social reception during which Dr. Houser will introduce himself to our Vancouver and area alumni.
