Dates and Events for Parents

Just for parents

Don't think that your student gets to have all the fun. The McGill Parents Association holds events designed specifically for parents throughout the year, both on campus and around the world. Moreover, McGill moms and dads are welcome to attend almost every event put on by the McGill Alumni Association and its regional branches. See what's happening in your city >>

Parents Tent – August 23 to 26, 2013

Every August, the Parents Association welcomes new McGill families to the University with our Parents Tent event. During Residence Move-In and to kick off Orientation Week, we set up shop (or a giant white tent) on McGill's picturesque downtown campus. Here, new McGill parents and their students can get answers to their questions, sign up for services, or just chat with our volunteers over snacks and a cup of coffee. Learn more >>

Parents Weekend – TBD

Get a taste of life at McGill and learn about your student's home away from home! Run in conjunction with Homecoming, Parents Weekend is a great opportunity to visit your son or daughter and meet other members of the McGill community, including fellow parents and alumni. The schedule of events is designed for the whole family to enjoy, with plenty of opportunities to explore the city and get to know the University. Learn more >>
