From pancake flipping to square dancing, a tug of war and a logging competition, there’s sure to be something for everyone at this year’s University of Guelph College Royal Open House.

Every spring, U of G hosts the largest university open house event in North America, with the doors open to the public for a free, campus-wide event that attracts thousands of visitors.

The College Royal Open House takes place March 16-17, from 9 a.m.to 5 p.m.

The event involving students, faculty and staff will showcase the many ways that U of G bridges farm and city life, and has become a world-class innovator in food and agricultural research, as well as science, engineering and the arts.
