Evening activities

Each evening at CU Expo offers opportunities for continued engagement, as well as some fun!

• At our opening at 6:30 p.m. on May 10th, you’ll hear from community and university leaders, enjoy an impactful performance from local arts group, MT Space, and be challenged by a keynote address from Rajesh Tandon of PRIA, followed by an informal cocktail time with an engaging creative session with DodoLab social action group.
• On Wednesday, May 11th, the University of Guelph-hosted banquet will feature talks and performance from ICASP and from the Jane Bunnett jazz ensemble. As well, Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH) will present its annual award. The CCPH Award recognizes exemplary partnerships between communities and higher educational institutions that build on each other’s strengths to improve higher education, civic engagement, and the overall health of communities. The award highlights the power and potential of community-campus partnerships as a strategy for social justice by recognizing partnerships that are striving to achieve the systems and policy changes needed to overcome the root causes of health, social and economic inequalities.

• On Thursday, May 12th, you can kick up your heels at A Night in the Park community cultural fair, showcasing the area’s arts, crafts, and food, with taste traditions from around the world, live music and performances, the opportunity to dance, and much more!
