Don't miss out on our two thrilling escape rooms! (with a donation to the Food Resource Centre)

Save the Circus 

Step Right Up! The Carnival Needs YOU! Join us for a one-day-only escape room event where mystery meets madness! The carnival has been taken over by an evil ringmaster, and the circus performers need your help to bring life back to this forgotten world. Can you outsmart the twisted puzzles, unravel the ringmaster’s dark secrets, and restore the magic of the big top?

Think you have what it takes? Step into the ring and save the carnival before it’s too late!

Dinner Party Disaster

Dinner Party Disaster! Something is amiss at the Halloween dinner party! A mystery enemy has sabotaged the entire event, and it’s up to you to save the evening. The clock is ticking, and the guests are about to arrive – can you uncover the sabotage attempts and restore order before it's too late?

Join us for this exclusive escape room event, where elegance meets intrigue, and danger lurks under every dish.

We like to think that there are no "lone wolves" here at Lakehead. As part of the Thunderwolves community, you are a member of the Pack and we are all stronger together. Like every good Wolfpack, we have a code to ensure that we are all contributing to creating a safe and supportive environment. Do you know the code?

Join us for this pop up event, learn more about the Code of the Wolfpack and share what student conduct and academic integrity means to you through an interactive art project led by local artist Nathan Cross. We will have paint by the numbers and stencils so there is something for everyone at every artistic level!

The Career Services and Co-op team is organizing a part time career fair at Agora from 11 AM to 2 PM. The fair will allow the new and current Lakehead students to gain potential part-time jobs by interacting and networking with local businesses.

Featuring fun for all! Take a ride on the inflatable bouncy castle, jousting arena, and obstacle course or head over and give your try at the dunk tank to dunk an admin. Enjoy music, giveaways and prizes, a photo booth to capture the memories, and snacks like cotton candy, snow cones, and popcorn.
