For the 26th consecutive year, over 120 students and officials from the Toyota Technical College in Japan travelled to Okanagan College for training.

What started as a lone exchange student in 1991 has grown to over 1,100 students from Nagoya, Japan studying at Okanagan College over 26 years. 

The group of students traveled to the Kelowna campus to learn Collision Repair and Customer Service and explore Canadian culture.

The exchange began on July 25th, and went until August 16th, when they celebrated a summer of successful learning and said goodbye to Canada.
