The University will be closed from December 21 to January 2, so here is a list of five festive things you can do over the holiday break:

 

Skating at Nathan Phillips Square and Harbourfront Centre Natrel Rink

Go Tobogganing in Scarborough

L’Amoreaux Park is Scarborough’s best kept secret for tobogganing. The park offers steep hills with a longer run-out and less traffic than other popular tobogganing hills.
