About

On-campus facilities: The Alumni Houses at Vermilion and Lloydminster offer places to stay year round but it is not clear if students can apply for residence in them. Dorm rooms and townhouses of the Vermilion campus are only available from mid-May to mid-August so we wouldn’t recommend relying on accommodation there. Single rooms in shared apartments and two-bedroom townhouses are available all year round at Lloydminster and can be applied to by contacting the Lloydminster residence office. Off-campus facilities: If students are interested in seeking private accommodation, single homes, duplexes, apartments and rooms are available to rent in nearby areas. Students are requested to research for private accommodation on their own and arrive well in advance to move in before the term starts. You can also opt for a homestay if you are on a budget. Food facilities (Availability of vegetarian/Indian food): There are no Indian restaurants in the vicinity of the campus. We recommend you make use of some of the tutorials available online and prepare an Indian meal for yourself if you are feeling homesick.

Accommodation

With several services and facilities, Lakeland College focuses on the overall growth of their students. The institution also realises the financial strain higher education can bring to students and offers financial aid to their students. Students can work part-time to gain work experience as well as financial independence. The rural setting of the college also allows for a unique college experience.

infrastructure

Place description: Alberta is Canada’s fourth most populated province out of its thirteen provinces and territories. The province was named after Queen Victoria’s fourth daughter, Princess Louise Caroline Alberta. Alberta is famous for having a diverse and abundant collection of Late Cretaceous dinosaur fossils. Today, Alberta’s economy relies upon agriculture, petrochemicals, energy and clean technology. It is also a well-known tourist destination around the world. Important landmarks/places nearby: Vermilion Heritage Museum and Morrison Museum are places you must visit to learn about the history of the place you would be living in. Vermilion Provincial Park and the Lakeland College Arboretum are great places to visit if you are seeking scenic beauty and inner peace. You can find nearby places to relax and mingle and make memories with your friends. Crime rate: When in Alberta, the rural crime rate falls on the higher side when compared to the urban area. In 2017, the rural crime rate was recorded to be 10,964 per 100,000 people whereas it was 7,920 per 100,000 in urban areas. These statistics may seem worrisome but the overall crime rate has been on a decrease as compared to previous years. Nearby Airports: Vermilion Airport is just 6 minutes away from the campus. Lloydminster Municipal Airport (YLL) is another regional airport located 40 minutes away from the campus. If you are looking for a nearby international airport, you would have to drive for more than 2 hours to reach one so we recommend you take a flight to reach an international airport for your travels around the world. Nearby Subways and train stations: The nearest train station is 40 minutes away and therefore not the ideal choice if you are looking for a way to commute daily. You can choose a bus charter according to your needs by looking for one that suits you the most. If nothing works well, we recommend you take the taxi to and from your destination.

Location

Internships: For students of business administration diploma, Lakeland College offers co-op internship opportunities. While it is optional, the Business Co-op program is a 16 week long paid work experience opportunity that shouldn’t be passed on. The placement happens between year 1 and 2 of the diploma and aims at offering clarity to the students and guiding them to their chosen career paths. This program is only available to Canadian students. Placement %: 92 International student placement: 90 % employed within 6 months of study-UG: 86 % employed within 6 months of study-PG: 96 ROI= Average Placement Salary/Tuition Fee: 27600

Placements

Summers in Alberta are comfortable and warm but winters are chilly, long and dry. It remains cloudy all year long so make sure you enjoy the sunshine whenever possible. It snows in the winter months, especially in January and February so we recommend you pack accordingly. You can specifically search about the location of your campus to get a clearer idea of the weather conditions.

The Communities in Bloom Foundation is requesting applications for two bursaries.

Each year, the Foundation awards two bursaries to two students registered in a full-time post-secondary program pertaining to ornamental and/or environmental horticulture in an accredited institution and who are involved with their local Communities in Bloom committee, in the national or provincial editions. With the passing of our dear friend, Claudette Savaria, it was decided to name the Bursary in her honor. Claudette, horticulturalist by trade, promoted green spaces and the protection of the environment in municipalities in Canada and abroad, with the aim of improving the quality of life of citizens. She played a leading role within the Communities in Bloom Canadian program. As a founding member, she helped set-up the program in 1995 with emphasis on judges training. She served as Board Director, Executive member and chaired the Judging, Symposium and Awards Ceremonies committees. She was also a founding member and President of the Quebec Association of Green Space Managers and the International Liveable Communities Program (LivCom).
