Hi! Sorry for my delay in response.
Lakehead's HBSW operates at two campuses, Orillia and Thunder Bay. They currently have very different programs compared to one another (in terms of how the year is laid out), however, regardless of campus you leave with your HBSW.
From what I heard, there was somewhere in the ballpark of about 200 applicants - however, I don't know if this is the cumulative number of applicants to both campuses, or if it was the number of applicants to the campus I was at. There were 21 people in my cohort and another 40-ish at the opposing campus.
The program was good, placements were great for almost all in my cohort. It is not offered online*. If you are willing to move to one of those areas (if you don't already live there), its a great option!
*at least while I was there; with covid, I'm sure things have changed.
