Thanksgiving Weekend Connection Opportunities

Published: 2 October 2020

Monday October 12th is Thanksgiving Day in Canada, and the campus will be closed for a statutory holiday. Considering the current Red Alert status in Montreal, we know how important it is for our students to have opportunities to connect with each other during this long weekend, especially if you can't be with family members or friends in person.
