Campus Tours 

Campus tours are the best way to experience what Cambrian College is all about. Bring your family and friends for a 45-minute tour and find out about our programs, our facilities, and the services we offer. You’ll get a glimpse of college life, a sense of what we’re all about and most importantly, answers to all of your questions.

You are welcome to tour the campus on weekdays at 10:30 a.m. or at 2:30 p.m. and on Saturdays at 12 noon. Please Note: Although the College offers tours on Saturdays, most service areas and facilities are only open Monday to Friday. Tours are not available on statutory holiday weekends or during the week between Christmas and New Year's.
