St. Clair College pulled off a celebration to remember for its 50th anniversary.
The college's John Fairly says the golf tournament and its homecoming party both sold out. He says they even recieved a video congratulating them from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Many alumni have never seen the upgrades to St. Clair's main campus or its satellite facilities throughout Windsor-Essex.
Nursing graduate Martina Burrows hasn't been on campus since she graduated in 1989. She took in the St. Clair Centre for the Arts for their big party and grabbed brunch the following day.
Burrows says it was good to see some familiar faces she hadn't seen in years.
"I just enjoyed last night, it was really fun," says Burrows. "I saw a couple of my coworkers I haven't seen for while, I used to work at Hotel-Dieu , so I haven't seen them for awhile, I work at Manville now, so It was kind of nice to see some old faces."
Now a nurse, Burrows says she's impressed with how far the college has come since she graduated.
"The expansion of different area's in the city as well, yeah it's a lot different. Eighty-nine I think we only had the main building, so it's quite a big difference," says Burrows.
The big weekend wrapped up with a Jazz and Blues Coffee House at the college's main campus.
