4th Annual International Thanksgiving is just around the corner ...

Back in 2007, when the Bow Valley College Alumni Association (BVCAA) was created, the first official alumni event was a traditional Thanksgiving dinner for 30 International alumni. The dinner was planned in acknowledgement of the support and continued engagement shown to the College by International alumni.

In the years since, the International Alumni Thanksgiving dinner has become a permanent fixture in the BVCAA event calendar and has more than doubled in size. We are currently planning for the 4th annual dinner and invite all International and Corporate Readiness Training Program Alumni to attend. This year's event details are as follows:

Tuesday, October 5

Fort Calgary, Sanders Room

750 - 9 Avenue S.E.

6:30 - 9:00 p.m.

International and CRTP Alumni are invited to RSVP by September 30 to reserve a seat.
