More than 1000 visitors walked through the doors of St. Clair College's Main Windsor and Chatham Campuses for the 2025 Fall Open House on Saturday, Nov. 8, 2025.

The hallways were packed with people going on tours, speaking with faculty and checking out the many College amenities, including the SportsPlex, Zekelman Tennis Centre, Sports Park and Residence.

"Open House was an amazing opportunity for prospective students and their families to come to campus, get a feel for College life, meet professors and learn all about their programs of interest," said John Fairley, the Senior Vice President of College Communications, Advancement and External Affairs. "We were very happy with the number of people who visited St. Clair College, and we're excited to have so many people apply – right here on the spot – to join Saints Nation."

Many high school students and their families travelled by car, train and bus from the Toronto area to explore programs, including Ellen Neimar, who said she plans to apply for three programs and start in the fall of 2026.

"I have friends who attended St. Clair College and love the experience and told me to check it out," Neimar said. "I was surprised at how new the facilities are and I'm really glad we made the trip today."

"Coming to campus and seeing it for myself gives me a lot of confidence that I'm making the right choice to attend St. Clair next Fall," she said.

Future St. Clair students who attended Open House also entered for a chance to win their share of $10,000 in scholarships and learn how to apply for more scholarships to help pay their tuition. Of those who entered the Open House Scholarship contest, 10 students will be randomly selected for $1,000 scholarships.

"Thanks to everyone who came out to see what St. Clair College has to offer," said Fairley.
