About Lakeland College
Lakeland College began on 17 November 1913 as the Vermilion School of Agriculture. It has campuses in Vermilion, Alberta, and Lloydminster on the Alberta-Saskatchewan border, and is Canada's only inter-provincial college. About 7,000 students a year study agriculture, business, environmental sciences, energy, health and wellness, human services, interior design and trades. It runs one of North America's largest student-managed farms (2,300 acres) and the only Canadian interior design programme endorsed by the National Kitchen and Bath Association.
