What's ECF All About?
Our annual Education & Career Fairs provide an opportunity for attendees to connect with representatives from universities, colleges, and skilled trades learning institutions, and employers from across Canada.
Since 1996, our fairs have been attended by secondary students planning for higher education; young adults looking to transfer their work experience & skills to a different industry; and new immigrants seeking employment and further training to settle in Canada. More than just a trade show, ECF creates opportunities for individuals or organizations to chat, ask questions and learn together.
All our fairs are completely free to attend!

I think all the CLE classes in my school should be able to go to this fair. It would be very beneficial for all students to get the opportunity to go every year.
