This event is now sold out — thank you for the incredible interest! Join the waitlist to be the first to know if spots open up.
From the debut of the National Flag of Canada to “Wooly Bully” and “Help!” topping the charts, 1965 was a year to remember—especially as SFU opened its doors for the very first time.
Now, 60 years later, we’re bringing the celebration to SFU's Surrey campus as part of a year of celebration! Join us for interactive exhibits (including a robot!), a walk through SFU’s history—and learn about new developments— and a chance to (re)connect with our amazing community. More than 150 people have already registered!
A few event highlights...
