On T
hursday December 18th, just a few days before Christmas, the GSA took part in a small act to give back to the community. Hosted by the HSA at Ryerson University, and with the help of St. George Greek Orthodox Church, yet another successful year of Skate for Toys was accomplished. With a great turnout of executives, members, and friends from the GSA of U of T, and the HSAs of Ryerson and York, an appreciable amount of toys were donated to the CP24 Christmas Wish Toy Drive. The participants enjoyed hot chocolate and snacks at St. George Greek Orthodox Church in an attempt to warm up before the fun began. In the bitter cold Greek music played loudly and proudly at Lake Devo Skating Rink where the participants showed off their skating skills. The night seamlessly melded the Greek and Canadian cultures, bringing together song and dance on blades and ice.
Stay tuned for our events coming up in the New Year! Especially our annual trip to MTL! We cannot wait for you to see what else is in store.
On Monday December 22nd the GSA visited the Hellenic Hope Centre for the disabled. They sang Christmas carols in both English and Greek. The caroling troop was a huge hit: the crowd favorites were Κάλαντα and Santa Clause is Coming to Town. The GSA was received with excited applause. The visit to the Centre during the Christmas season to interact with persons with special needs was a heart warming, humbling and rewarding experience. The GSA is eager to return to the Hellenic Hope to volunteer and support the vital assistance and programming the Centre offers to individuals and families with special needs. Congratulations and thank you to those who volunteer and work at the Centre for making such support possible. Stay tuned for more volunteering opportunities in 2015!
On Thursday, November 27th from 12-5 pm the GSA held a Study Jam at the Sussex Clubhouse GSA Office. Members and non-members alike came out and studied while enjoying snacks including hot chocolate, frappe and Timbits. The event succeeded in relaxing everyone and providing a much-needed study space! We wish all our members the best of luck as they work towards finishing up the semester!
We are looking forward to more GSA study events in the future!
