The 2021-2022 session of the tournament is now closed. Congratulations to the winners!
Hey there! Welcome – or welcome back – to the Glendon Tournament!
For a year now, the Glendon Tournament has given participants the opportunity to showcase their talents, develop team spirit while competing in a series of games and challenges, all to win prizes and rewards.
Put the odds on your side and give “your 110%”, as the professionals say. Who among you can boast for eternity of having won the second edition of the Glendon Tournament?
Many of you chose Glendon for its personalised college experience and “little campus with a big heart” vibe. With this in mind, the Tournament is one of the activities created for you by our staff and student volunteers.
I hope that the Tournament will be a great opportunity for many of you to get a feel for what campus life is like and to get involved at all levels and in activities that will match your personality and your interests. In a team, there are no passengers!
You’ve got this!

Welcome one and all to the Glendon Tournament!
I encourage you to browse through this site, connect with your teammates, explore our campus through the virtual tour, and learn how to navigate your new virtual community. Most importantly, I invite you to take a look at the games and participate in those which speak to your preferences and skill set. Every time you play, every win you score, will qualify you for a series of prizes and bring your team closer to winning the grand prize of the Glendon Tournament. The Glendon Cup, as well as individual awards and prizes, will be awarded at the closing ceremony later on in the year. Just a little something to look forward to!

Vision Board
Create and submit a vision board for a plan to redesign the garden in the roundabout in front of the Centre of Excellence when you enter campus. This garden is located at the front of the campus and should be a showcase garden that reflects the values of Glendon and contributes to the overall appearance of the campus! Please consider the following elements when creating your vision board and BE CREATIVE!
- A pathway to move through the garden
- An interactive component (such as a small seating area or campus map for example)
- Plant species that you would like to see in the garden (specific types of flowers, small shrubs or bushes, grasses…)
- How this garden will reflect Glendon (colour scheme, aesthetic and theme of the campus…)
- Non-biotic elements (Decorations, rock borders, pots or planter designs if necessary)
Create a digital or physical vision board of your ideas and take a picture or screenshot to be submitted for judging. If you would like to create a digital version, possible free apps you could use are Canva, Pinterest, or Google Slides.
Optional: Include a short description about your design choices and the symbolism or relevance of your ideas to the Glendon Campus.
Judging: The top three designs will be chosen by a panel of judges and then these three designs will be released to the Glendon Community to vote on which one they like the best through a digital platform. Student input is very important in this process. Elements from the winning vision board may be taken into consideration if and when this garden is redesigned.

Laura
My name is Laura Rodriguez Reyes and I’m in my first year of Translation at Glendon. I’ve lived in Oakville for a number of years now, but I’m originally from the Dominican Republic and Spain, so Spanish is my first language. Je parle le français aussi, grâce à l’école. I love reading, writing, and playing games like Animal Crossing and The Sims, so the Glendon Tournament has very much suited my interests and I’ve really enjoyed participating so far!

WHAT IS THE GLENDON TOURNAMENT?
To the best of our knowledge, the Glendon Tournament is the only activity of this kind in Canada. It was co-designed with students, faculty and staff to create a virtual space where students could play together, share and also win cool prizes. You can check some of the students’ testimonials below.
WHAT KIND OF GAMES DO STUDENTS PLAY IN THE TOURNAMENT?
Students typically suggest the most popular games, and there are always new ones to be tried. Last academic year, for example, students played over 29 games, including “Mario Kart”, several photography contests, “8 Ball Pool”, “Subway Runner”, “Cut the Rope”, “Tik Tok dance competition”, singing competition, etc. Check out our video here to see examples of the games they played last year!
WHAT KIND OF PRIZES COULD I WIN?
Prizes will include swag and gift cards with a maximum value of $50.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
As a Glendon student, you can login onto e-class where you will find all your courses as well as the Glendon Tournament. You should also follow us on Instagram at @Glendontournament to join the other players and meet the Team Captains who will welcome you and answer your questions.
As a new student, you will be automatically assigned to one of the four teams and be able to play one or all of the games; the more you play, the greater your chances of winning a prize. As a senior student, you will need to register by following the link above.
Each game has its own rule. For example, you may need to upload a screenshot of your top score; the winner of the photography contest is selected by a vote from the players; etc. Typically, all you need is your phone, a connection…And some skill 😊
