Brandon University’s Homecoming celebration will kick off a little earlier this year, with a couple new events added in to spice things up.

While BU Homecoming usually takes place the weekend after Thanksgiving, this year’s festivities will run Sept. 14-17 to spare alumni from contending with unpredictable fall weather and a busy travel season.

Additionally, school officials will be hosting new attractions like a Terry Fox Run (Sunday) and a Langar meal provided by the local Sikh community (Friday) on top of more traditional Homecoming events like the BU Alumni Association Awards ceremony (Saturday).
