Ice Skating at the Forks

Yesterday, even though it was about -30 degrees, we went ice skating at The Forks!  Several students showed up dressed for the weather and ready to skate.

 

 

 

 

 

It was so cold out that we were interviewed by the Weather Channel about why we were out and how we were keeping warm!

 

 



Crepes at Kawaii

A few brave students came out in the cold to have Japanese style crepes at Kawaii Crepe on the first day of the winter break, and then to look around the shops of Osborne Village for some last-minute Christmas presents.  The crepes here are always great and it was a fun afternoon.

John Taylor Collegiate Goes Ice Skating

Yesterday John Taylor Collegiate's wonderful resource teacher Ms Rokosh arranged for the school's international students to go ice skating at the MTS Iceplex.  It was an awesome afternoon of skating, everyone had a great time, and no one got hurt!  Thanks to Ms. Rokosh for planning such a great afternoon.

At a Jets Practice

Last week we had the chance to go and watch a Winnipeg Jets hockey practice at the MTS Centre. 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to the Winnipeg Jets and the Manitoba Council for International Education for this oppportunity.

 

 

 

 

Christmas open House at the Legislative Building

This past Saturday was the annual Christmas Open House at the Manitoba Legislative Building.  A lot of students came out to tour the building, meet the Members of the Legislative Assembly, and some even met Manitoba's Premier.

 

 

 

The Manitoba Legislative building is a beautiful building, and it is worth touring if you have never seen it.  You can visit at any time, though it is especially nice when decorated for Christmas.

 

For all you student photographers....

Since so many students love taking pictures of themselves and their friends, why not enter some photos in Tourism Winnipeg's winter photo contest?  Enter photos of people enjoying the outdoors, winter activities, festivals, attractions, etc, and you could win tickets to a Winnipeg Jets game or a gift card to Don's Photo.  Contest details and how to enter is here
