Christmas has snuck up on us. There's only a matter of days to go, classes are (finally) winding down for the time being and we all get to enjoy a nice break. A breather is in order: sit back, relax, or better yet, take some time to explore the snow-kissed city of Ottawa with family and friends, or take it in solo. It’s always nice to spend some time away from campus and forget all about work; have a little fun. Here’s a list of a couple events going on off-campus...

Christmas Lights Across Canada 2017:

What's a better way to start the holidays than standing in the glow of twinkling holiday lights?

There’s plenty to take in around the city this holiday season. Don't let the cold scare you off. Throw on an extra pair of socks, a scarf and take a perfect rosy-cheeks selfie. Explore beyond your college barriers. I just listed a couple events but feel free to check this list out for other upcoming and exciting events in Ottawa!
