Institutions prepare for the holidays with competitions, donation drives, events

Several postsecondary institutions are holding holiday events and donation drives in the coming weeks. Brock University encouraged faculty and staff to take part in Home for the Holidays, where they host an international student for a holiday or activity. Institutions like Fleming College, MaKami College, and St Clair College are hosting free craft workshops and holiday parties for the campus community, while Memorial University’s Botanical Garden is hosting a lights festival. St Clair, the University of Niagara Falls Canada, and University of Manitoba have shared that they will be visited by Santa Claus. Several institutions and student associations—including at Brock, St Thomas University, and UNFC—are also collecting donations of food and toys for special holiday hampers.
