The gala will be themed after a celebration of Canada’s natural wonders.
More than 900 guests are expected to be in attendance at this black-tie event to be hosted at the Syncrude Sport and Wellness Centre on Nov. 2 at 7 p.m.
Since 1981, the event has been an evening of the community coming together as well as a major fundraiser for the college.
“The continuous support for the Keyano Gala stands as a testament to the community’s belief in higher education as a pillar of growth,” said Chantal Beaver, associate Vice President for public engagement at Keyano College.

Any funds raised will support enhancing learning resources, increasing aid for the athletics program, and contributing to instruction improvements.
