Notes

The first Winter Carnival at Waterloo Lutheran University was held in 1961. The Winter Carnival and the Miss Canadian University Queen Pageant were organized and run entirely by the students of Waterloo Lutheran University. The event featured outdoor activities, ice sculpture contests, musical concerts, sporting events, and the Miss Canadian University Queen Pageant. The last Queen Pageant hosted by WLU was in 1970.
