This fair is different in that it will welcome students from Ontario and Quebec regions to participate as well, hence the later start time to accommodate their time zone. All Atlantic Canadian students are able to attend as well, and the later session on a Monday will provide an alternative day/time to the previous fairs in case individuals are busy in the earlier evenings, they can attend this one if they miss all others.
Associate Members will be presenting at this event, meaning universities outside of the Atlantic region who are involved with AARAO, like Bishops for instance, as well as some of our colleges that are not full Members, like Jane Norman College as an example.
