To some people, the winter may seem gloomy and boring, but it’s really just another season that brings a ton of fun and different things to do than you usually would!
Whether you like outdoor activities or prefer to have fun inside, there is definitely something in this list for you to try this winter!
1. Winter Outdoors Activities
Skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, tubing, snowshoeing; they all have something in common, and that is that cold temperatures and snow are necessary for them to happen! So take advantage of the winter season and explore these challenging and exciting activities with your friends. Only a short trip from the city and you will have so much fun in the outdoors! Ask the ILAC Social Events department for more information.
2. Workshops
The time you spend learning is never wasted, and you never know what new skills you might bring into your life! That’s why it is such a great idea to sign up for workshops while it’s cold outside. You will learn new things, meet new people, and perhaps find your new passion! Crafts, sewing, music, art, English skills, self-improvement, there’s so many options!

3. Board Game Coffee Shops
Hot drinks, good friends, a cozy and fun atmosphere, and lots of board games. If that sentence got you excited and made you look forward to your next free afternoon, then the many board game rooms in Toronto and Vancouver will be your new favourite spots to hang out!
4. Movies, Bowling and Karaoke
If you like to keep it traditional, then there’s nothing better than going to the cinema (especially on Tuesdays, when it’s half price!!), play bowling or go to a karaoke bar! Also, watching movies without subtitles and singing songs in English are two excellent ways of learning vocabulary and improving your English through mass media.
5. Adventure-Seeking Indoor Activities
And last but not least, just the thought of these exciting activities will have adrenaline rushing through your body! Leave your routine aside and step out of your comfort zone, you’ll see how much fun these activities can be with friends, and it’s an interesting way of spending time together!
