Keystone picnic 2015

Keystone Picnic a great success!

A last-minute change in venue didn’t stop faculty, staff and retirees from coming out last Friday to enjoy the annual Keystone Picnic. Moved to the Student Life Centre because of the risk of a thunderstorm, the event saw hundreds of guests attend from across the campus community.

The picnic is held each June to “celebrate family” and thank supporters of the Keystone Campaign. In addition to a complimentary lunch of build-your-own burgers, cupcakes and other treats, the event included a special performance by Ian Taylor and the Waterboys.  

This event wouldn’t have been possible without the help of our many volunteers. Thank you to everyone who served food, set up equipment, took tickets and helped with cleanup. We really appreciate it!

If you have questions about the picnic or about the Keystone Campaign, please e-mail keystone@uwaterloo.ca.

See the great photos!
