In spite of cold temperatures, a stiff biting wind, and intermittent snow, this year's graduation weekend services were the "biggest" and the best Canadian University College has experienced. You can view the printed program for the weekend here. Video of all three major programs can be viewed at this location. (Note: The procession of the Commencement Service does not start until about 14 minutes into the video.)In his welcome at Sabbath morning's Baccalaureate service, President Haynal explained why the weather would not in any way spoil the weekend: It is my privilege to welcome you to Canadian University College and our baccalaureate service. While the weather may not be what we would like, the cold will not overcome the warmth of our fellowship, the rain will not dampen our spirits, the sleet can’t slake our sense of satisfaction, no storm will steal our joy, because we are in God’s house surrounded by the people we love. Mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends all drawn to this place, at this hour, by our love for these graduates and our gratefulness to God for having brought them safely thus far. This is indeed the day only the Lord could make possible. Let us rejoice and be very glad in it!
