Affinity Place will be packed tonight with friends and family celebrating Graduation 2017. 

"We've hosted it since the building has been open in 2011," explained Nathan Jesse, Manager of Affinity Place. "For Grad 2017 at Affinity Place, we are expecting about 1800 people tonight and the ceremony starts at 6:30 pm."

They are looking forward to an exciting and busy night. 

"It's a great achievement for the grads every year. We're honoured to host it here at Affinity Place, one of the bigger venues in the city. We love having them here and it's a good yearly tradition for us here. This is one of our favourite events of the year because it really showcases Affinity Place."

He adds that the ceremony adds a little extra shine to the facility.

"We would like to give a shout-out to all the parents involved in the decorating committee, they've done a great job and worked very hard all week making the building look really nice for all the grads. It makes our building look great."

"Congratulations to all the grads, and good job to all the teachers and parents involved in helping make this graduation ceremony a success tonight."
