Today we were back at wonderland, a huge favourite. It was very hot and humid so most students spent their time in the waterpark, with its countless slides, waves pool and lazy river. Definitely a great and fun way to stay cool!

Many new students have been arriving from all over the world. Today at the aquarium we had mixed group from Korea, Mexico and Spain- students from three different continents, so exciting!

Meanwhile, other groups either had a movie day on campus or took a tour of the iconic CN tower!

Today was a huge game game for the Jays and one of the longest and most exciting games of the season so far. Facing San Diego, Toronto finished off with an overtime win. The students watch the game in the gorgeous home stadium, with it’s roof open showing the CN tower right next door. We even had a fun walk back to residence afterwards, with the streets filled with happy and excited fan energy!

Today we take a glimpse into a level 7 classroom. One of the activities students having to read a newspaper article and re-writing the story in their own words.

Many of those that didn’t go yesterday, went over to the distillery district today. The cobblestones add to the art scene here, which is accompanied by unique shops, speciality cafes and countless restaurants!

Today was a bittersweet day. As we were boarding the busses in the morning to head to Wasaga, students came running to say goodbye. Many students who have graduated left to go back home today, and so it was a hectic and emotional morning.

Wasaga Beach is located a couple hours north of Toronto, on Georgian Bay. The popularity of the destination was definitely made evident today, as the beach was filled with lounging bodies, volleyball players and people of all ages running in and out of the water. It was a very hot day and most students spent it relaxing.

Meanwhile others stayed in Toronto and explored the distillery district, a historic and now very chic location during all seasons.

As many groups of students celebrated their last evening in town with dinner and a show, others who have only recently arrived canoed on the lake. It was a very hot and sunny day, so by the time we arrived on the island a much deserved rest was in order! After relaxing in the shade and getting re-hydrated, the students took the ferry back all together, taking in the famous Toronto skyline.

There was a bittersweet energy on campus today, with many student graduating from the program. There were many tears after the smiling pictures, which reminded us of the strong bonds that have developed and how just a few short weeks can make such a large impact!

One of the best parts about spending the summer in Toronto is that every week there are countless festivals to attend. Today students took part in one of these summer celebrations by attending the jazz festival. Located throughout the downtown core and spanning a couple of weeks, the festival honours jazz music, with a special emphasis on local talent.
