Red Deer
It’s Homecoming Week at Red Deer Polytechnic!
For our alumni, community partners, students, and anyone else who has ever been to our campus, we would like to invite you back – and for anyone who has never been to Red Deer Polytechnic, there’s no time like this week! We have 10 fabulous Homecoming events scheduled over three days, and we feel that means there is something for everyone. If none of the events seem interesting, come on over and take a self-guided tour through our campus and through the picturesque walking trails on our grounds.
We hope to see you at RDP this week for Homecoming!
This year, we are especially excited to welcome two new Homecoming Affiliate Events – events planned by community partners, or in partnership with community partners, and hosted during Homecoming. We are excited to host our Affiliate Events, the Red Deer Energy Innovation Fair, and the Red Deer Symphony Orchestra’s Oktoberfest.
