The Strummer (Rodin) | This oft forgotten Rodin masterwork features prominently in the beautiful Mahalo Gardens of the UHS Dominion Campus in Toronto's Corktown.
While we conduct workshops across the universe, Corktown Hall on our Dominion Campus is where we make our home.

Campus food and drink is fab. If you're fortunate enough to attend a workshop there, we invite you to enjoy a pint during class. Life could be worse.
But not all UKULELE HIGH workshops are at the Dominion. Pay close attention to the detail in our announcements.
