Discover Weekend was designed for our out of city/province guests in mind! You might want to consider Discover Weekend if:

• You are a current high school student (or under 19 years of age).
• You live far away.
• You are interested in living on campus and want to know what it's like.
• You want to spend some time in Winnipeg.

While we welcome supporters (parents, guardians, siblings) at this event, we encourage prospective students to attend by themselves or with a friend to give them the most authentic residence experience.

Everything included in our Discover Day event (see event above) plus...

• the opportunity to experience Student Life through staying in residence,
• breakfast, dinner, and nightly snack in our dining hall,
• student-led activites like residence board game night, bingo, or attending Blazers Athletics games,
