Lakeland College - Vermilion Campus

• Lakeland began here in 1913 as the Vermilion School of Agriculture, and it still has a countryside feel: green lawns, mature trees,and as much sky as you want.
• A lot of the learning at Vermilion takes place outdoors --- on the college farm, the Emergency Training Centre's training grounds, or the environmental science programs field labs.
• But times have changed since 1913, and so has Lakeland's campus at Vermilion. Today our modern classrooms and computer labs support coursework in more than eight disciplines, including award-winning programs in interior design, trades and early learning and child care.
• Enrolment at Vermilion numbers nearly 2,000 today, with more than 500 of those students living on campus, a few minutes' walk from the classrooms. It's the more rural of our two campuses --- offering a true small-town college experience.
