The big event is quickly approaching. On Saturday March 14, get ready for the one and only Huron formal! This year, the HUCSC has planned an extra special event at the magnificent venue, The Old Courthouse. Tickets will be on sale for a great price of $30 for the dinner and dance. Tickets will begin to go on sale Wednesday March 4th. Buy yours early as they are expected to sell out fast.

This year, Huron  is putting on a charity fashion show that will turn you green with envy. Huron has teamed up with The McIlwraith Field Naturalists Incorporated to tackle the environment - one park at a time.

The McIlwraith Field Naturalists (MFN) do their part in the London community by preserving parks and natural areas, as well as creating awareness about the environment with a local magazine and a nature hot line. This foundation is dear to Huron College’s heart because Swift birds nest in the Huron chimneys.

On March 21st at 8pm at the Wave, fashion takes action. Watch the new and innovative trends of 2009 hit the runway in support of MFN.  Tickets are $10 and will be sold at the Info Desk soon. Ticket sale dates will be announced shortly.

Huron and Kings are taking over The London Tap House in the tightest and brightest clothing imaginable!
On March 4th, head to London Taphouse for another amazing charity event run by Huron and King’s .  Tickets are $10 and all proceeds go to the Ronald McDonald House.  You can buy your tickets Monday-Wednesday March 2nd-4th from the info desk.

Coming very soon, the HUCSC will be providing the opportunity to hear from some of Canada’s strongest leaders.
