What to Wear
What to wear: layers are the key
Someone will probably tell you, "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes."
The weather can vary throughout the day, and often is much cooler in the early morning and later in the evening no matter the season.
That's why layers are a good idea summer and winter.
Light jackets and sweaters, and or a wind breaker, are great items for spring, summer and fall.
Winters means more layering and appropriate outer wear—coat, boots, scarf, mittens/gloves. It may also mean thermal underwear on the coldest of days.

Safety or Personal Protective Equipment |
| If you take an agricultural science, energy or environmental science program, you will need either one or both of protective footwear and clothing.
All three programs require steel-toed boots.
If you are in a laboratory, you'll need a white coat and safety glasses. In some field labs you might need to wear coveralls.
Some equipment is available at the college. Other things, like your boots, you must buy.
You'll be given supply lists during the summer. We suggest you wait to buy larger and heavier items in Canada.
