Founded in 1827, UofT has a long and incredible history. Today it stands as a top Canadian institution and is well known as a leader in research, specially in the sciences and technology, while also maintaining a great position of influence in literary studies. Today a group of ‘Sheffield’ students walked the same steps as Canada’s first female astronauts, top literary critic and Toronto’s current major, amongst many more notable alumni!
We’ve had a wonderful start to summer 2016! The sun is shinning and hundreds of students are flooding the campus. Today a large group of us went to to watch Jay’s game, a team Torontonians take great pride in, specially with the strong start to the season. This game was no let down- we walked away with another with and the students filled an entire section showing strong support!
For 35 years now Toronto has hosted the Pride Parade, an event that aims to honour and empower people with diverse gender identities and sexual orientations. This is an all inclusive event that truly highlights our vibrant culture and continues to educate and celebrate our community. The students took part in this historically important event, seeing the parade and surrounding entertainment. Joining thousands of others- wearing bright colours and huge smiles! Due to such huge crowds it was tough to take a good shot, so we’ve borrowed the ones not of the group from: Mark Blinch/ Canadian Press http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/toronto-pride-parade-2016-1.3663042 and Pride Toronto’s Instagram https://www.instagram.com/pridetoronto/
The great and mighty falls!
Today the ‘She Herencia and Lingua groups took a trip to the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM). The ROM is one of North America’s largest museums and has quite a history of itself The museum is divided into sections of art, world culture and natural history and always has special featured exhibits. The students made sure to take the educational day to the next level- having lots of fun and taking silly pictures.
This is always a popular excursion with the students. Our Quest students had many options of games to choose from. Of course laser tag, there was also bowling, roller skating and bumper cars.
Everyone had a really good time facing off in the games.
Elora is a beautiful town just outside of Toronto. This activity is great for those that love nature and even if you aren’t an outdoors person the beauty of the place will turn you into one.
Our student’s enjoyed swimming and exploring the city centre. It is a quaint peaceful area, another opportunity to take a break from city life.
