Our Events Team
The Halloween Haunt trip this year was a big success! It’s always a favourite event and we would love to keep this tradition going for many years to come!
The Annual Kids Halloween Party and Downey’s Farm Pumpkinfest adventure this year were great family events. Kids and parents alike had a great time watching the magic show, painting pumpkins, and getting drawings and their faces painted!
We had over 350 attendees at the Halloween Party at Trafalgar, and 450 at Garba at HMC!
Our Food Services Team
We hosted a Turkey Dinner for Thanksgiving and that was a big hit at HMC campus.
We made food for the Annual Kids Halloween Party on Saturday, October 28th, 2023.
All three campuses gave out samples of the SSU Food Menus and students received a coupon to get a 15% discount when they bought the sample item of that day. The sample item this month was masala fries! Follow our SSU_hungry page for more food news throughout the year!
For National Coffee Day, all three campuses held a Buy one coffee and Get one FREE coffee deal!
