Today at the College there are a number of alumni, current students, and staff who are Finnish-Canadian. The fabulous chapel at the College is acoustically perfect for performances at the Festival Concert where, among more local talent, you can listen to the youth choir, Leticia, the Kauhava Big Band, as well as the Swedish-Finnish classical ensemble, Jepokryddona, which all hail from Finland. A variety of activities will be available for your enjoyment, such as art exhibits, lectures, movies, spiritual events and children s programs.

Ensimmäinen suomalainen suoritti akateemisen loppututkinnon jo Alkuvuosina tunteja pidettiin iltakouluna, jotta naiset, jotka työskentelivät kotiapulaisina pääsivät myös opiskelemaan. Entisten oppilaiden lisäksi Collegesta löytyy tänä päivänäkin kanadansuomalaisia oppilaita sekä henkilökuntaa. Collegen upea kappeli on akustiikaltaan ideaalinen juhlakonserttiin.
