Get Involved

As a student, you are automatically a member of the students' association on your campus.

Your representations, mostly elected, are the councils on each campus. Together they form a student executive council that works for all Lakeland students.

What the SA does:

• represent you on college committees
• organize and maintain the class rep committee
• advocate for you on the college, municipal, provincial and federal levels
• provide services such as our annual day planner
• organize activities, events and awareness program ranging from stress busters to a winter gala
• manage the student pubs on each campus
• assist sanctioned clubs

Check out our campus recreation facilities. Your student ID is an entrance to a variety of activities and facilities including the Lloydminster weight room and the Vermilion pool.

There are also options off campus.

Clubs provide a great way to connect with old friends and make new ones, pursue your interests and expand your horizons.

You'll probably want to start with the international students' club.

Lakeland has several clubs that students from both campuses can join. See a list of current clubs.

If you're interested in starting your own club, contact your campus Student's Association.

Clubs and student-led initiatives offer a lot of different events. These range through:

• bake sales
• movie nights
• puppy de-stress rooms during exams
• Lakeland's Little Royal
• Indigenous events
• social awareness displays
