Thank You for Supporting Giving Tuesday – Together We Raised $167,877

We are pleased to share the results of this year’s Giving Tuesday campaign. Thanks to the generosity and support of our alumni, faculty, staff, students, and friends, Lakehead University raised $167,877 in support of student awards.

Giving Tuesday has become an important annual tradition at Lakehead- one that directly impacts our students by helping reduce financial barriers and expanding access to scholarships, bursaries, and awards. Since launching our first Giving Tuesday initiative in 2016, our community has contributed over $1.71 million toward student awards. This sustained support has strengthened our ability to help students succeed academically and personally.

These results also reflect our longstanding reputation for putting students first: for two years in a row, the Maclean’s University Rankings recognized Lakehead as the top undergraduate university in Ontario for student awards- a distinction made possible through the kindness and commitment of supporters like you.

Thank you to everyone who contributed, shared messages, or helped champion this year’s campaign. Your dedication helps ensure that Lakehead students can focus on their studies, pursue their goals, and fully realize their potential.

Shearing Delay Leads To Kingston 4H Sheep Show!

Video: Shearing Delay Leads To Kingston 4H Sheep Show!

What started as a disappointment turned into a day full of surprises, fun, and celebration as we leave Ewetopia Farms behind and head out to the Kingston Fair to watch the 4H sheep show

Today’s vlog was supposed to be another sheep shearing day here at Ewetopia Farms, but when our shearer had to cancel, we suddenly found ourselves with an unexpected free day. Lucky for us, the Kingston Fair was happening — and some of our own sheep (and friends) were competing!

We brought along our shearing helper and headed to the fairgrounds to cheer on the 4H kids and see how our sheep did in the show. From last-minute preparations and sheep showmanship to market lamb competitions and ewe classes, we take you behind the scenes of what it’s really like at a country fair.

We couldn’t be prouder — our girls walked away with wins in both showmanship and breeding ewe classes! Afterwards, we toured the fair, met a beekeeper with fascinating insights, admired other livestock shows, and wrapped up the evening with motocross stunts and a demolition derby!

Sometimes farm life throws curveballs — but today, it gave us the chance to celebrate community, our sheep, and the next generation of shepherds.
