Queen’s Engineering · Sci ’96
Homecoming weekend in Kingston · October 16–18, 2026. Nostalgia, celebration, and questionable decisions — just like the old days.
The WhatsApp group is where it’s all happening — updates, planning chatter, and reconnecting with classmates you haven’t talked to in way too long.

The Fund
A small group of classmates is pulling together a Sci ’96 class fund to leave a mark on Engineering at Queen’s — separate from the reunion, but in the same spirit. More details coming soon.
