Welcome to my sandbox
Those are the words of a humourous sign that’s posted inside a small tool shack, located in a dirt-filled field just east of the riding arena at Olds College Campus.
For these students, the only difference is, they’re playing in a bigger sandbox

Magnificent Mosaic
We examined beneath the surface to unveil the great stories at Open House.
A roadtrip takes on new meaning when you’ve travelled for 88 hours by Greyhound, through four provinces. "I got through four books on the way here," says Martin Hughes, a 26-year-old Kingston, Ontario resident who holds a diploma in Agricultural Equine Studies from the University of Guelph. Hughes caught a bus after working a 12-hour shift, in order to attend Olds College’s Open House.

Victory Belt Buckles for Olds College students!
Kudos for Katie and her quarter horse, who won during the Canadian National College Finals in March.
Olds College student Katie Marshall says it’s her horse’s fault that she won the Breakaway Roping event at the Canadian National College Finals Rodeo held at Edmonton’s Northlands on March 29.
"I trust my horse so much," says the first year Equine Science Business Management student. "He’s awesome."

Travelling Tailor by Trade
An African tailor studies at Olds College.
Joseph Nzirorera sits comfortably at an electric sewing machine in the fashion lab at Olds College. The soft-spoken African has grown accustomed to the burst of electricity surging out of the small apparatus, as he works on a pair of pants, a jacket, or perhaps a shirt. Joseph has been studying at Olds College campus since February, in order to enhance and further develop his teaching abilities.
"The courses are good and I’m learning a lot," he says. "I’m enjoying Canada."
