Something school setup a weekend trips were the students leave Friady and get back Monday \ Sunday Night.  That should be long enough, I would think. charge the students a small fee to cove food\'what nots' show them a good time and keep them asking questions.
Back in the day, I would have loved this. heck I would go for now.

When I was in high school, there was one day a year where all the senior students would have to look at post-secondary options.  RMC was one of them.  No other aspect of the military was ever looked at; my high school did not have a "job" or career day.

However, in university, it is different.  At the beginning of the fall semester every year the school (Simon Fraser) runs a week long job "fair" in one of the buildings.  One end of the hall to the other has various companies and organizations set-up at tables.  The CF had a Navy person and an Army person with a huge slew of pamphlets and a video.  The only table to be more popular than the CF one was CSIS, and really these are both surprising considering the general attitude, both historical and current, of students at SFU.

By far, the set-up at my university was much better, especially when those staffing it were not told to discuss only one option.  (Besides, at this point, it was really too late for RMC to be an option.)

We just finished a one day, U of Windsor/St Clair College Career Fair, it was petty good.  A lot of interest and contacts came of it.  We had a similiar result (and again CSIS, seemed to gain the majority of questions).  I think a lot of the CSIS questions where, "Who are you guys?" though.

Yeah, most Canadians have never heard of CSIS and think that the CIA takes care of all of Canada's needs. It's good to hear that there getting out there.

I was thinking while I was at school today, and I noticed there are no information up anywhere for the CF. I think it would even bring a few people in if there was something. There is tons of room at colleges for poster (at least at mine).
