Join us for a haunted walk tour of the ³ÉÈË´óƬ Campus.

There are few places more historic, charming, and haunted in Canada than ³ÉÈË´óƬ.

We've never told these stories before and can't wait to share them with our guests. You won't hear spine-tingling and heart-pounding tales like these on the regular campus tours. Join us for the Ghosts of ³ÉÈË´óƬ and graduate with a degree in the supernatural!
