RJC proudly presents the 2010 Open House

On January 22, approximately 140 people joined us for Open House. Our theme was “Come and see how sweet we are”. Each student who registered received a “World’s Finest Chocolate” bar, four of which had gold tickets worth $500 in tuition reduction. Guests participated in tour stops in the school and dorms and enjoyed a coffee house put on by RJC students. Over the course of the evening much information about Rosthern Junior College was shared by students and staff. It was a sweet evening.
