Quiz Night

Thursday nights at Canvas are community nights. We do different events each Thursday to build community amongst our students. Last Thursday we had a Quiz Night. We had quite a few quiz nights last term and they are quite popular. Pubs in the area offer Quiz nights on Mondays, and so we like to offer the Canvas quiz alternative. Our quiz nights always include silly games and the winning team usually gets some type of baked goods. Here a few photos from last week's quiz night!

Another New Term

Well the first week of the new term has ended and things are going great at Canvas! Students are back and eager to hang out at Canvas and to come to Tuesday Nights at TC's. The terms do pass quickly here and so we pack as much as we can into three short months. This term will include our second Spring retreat to Wales, Pancake Day, lots of Tuesday Nights at TCs, and Thursday night events at Canvas such as Quiz Nights, bake-offs, craft nights, a curry cook-off, and more. Details and photos of the events will be posted to the blog!

Cornwall

We took a short trip to the southwest of England for a few days on the coast. It was so wonderful to get away from the city and explore the English coastline. We did some hiking, saw beaches and cute English seaside towns, saw some castle ruins, and relaxed and ate a lot! It was such a wonderful trip. England is such a beautiful country to explore and we are thankful to live here! Check out some of our photos below. There are lots more on Facebook!
