Campus Tours

Welcome Future Thunderwolves!


Students hanging out at an orientation campus tour and taking in the new experiencesWe look forward to welcoming you and your guest to our Thunder Bay and Orillia campus for an in-person campus tour. As the health and safety of our future students, guests and our community is important to us, we will continue to adjust our plans in accordance with any public health guidelines as required, in order to keep our Lakehead University campuses safe.

We are committed to following the direction of the government and recommendations from the Thunder Bay District Health Unit and the Simcoe-Muskoka District Health Unit.

Your Campus Experience


Once you arrive on campus, you’ll be taken on a tour route by a student Tour Guide or a member of the Recruitment team and experience the highlights of our beautiful campus. Please note that access to inside buildings may be subject to limitations and not all areas of campus may be fully accessible.  You’ll also have an opportunity to connect with one of our Recruitment specialists following your tour, should you have any remaining questions.

All guests must register in advance

All guests must register in advance for their tour (providing a minimum of 3 days notice). Registered tour participants may bring as many guests as they’d like. Unfortunately, walk-ins are not permitted.
