Concordia’s sweet tooth endures over 60 years 

• Back to Original Version

Concordians enjoyed a week of wintry fun during Loyola On Ice between Feb. 12 and 19, complete with a mobile cabane à sucre, snow sculptures and tunes from CJLO.

In the Loyola Chapel, visitors were treated to a blast from the past: archival photos of carnivals from yesteryear were on display. In the image above men and women from Sir George Williams University trekked out to the heart of the Laurentian woods for the Circle Français Annual Sugar Party in 1949.

Over 60 years later, students, faculty and staff stayed closer to home on the Loyola campus and enjoyed coffee every morning at the shuttle bus stops. More than 200 people stopped by the quad for tire on the snow and other munchies on Feb. 16. Others cheered for our Olympians in the G-lounge.

“Trying to be a proud Canadian, I was underdressed for the cold but still enjoying the fun activities,” said Prince Ralph Osei,VP Services and Loyola of the Concordia Student Union, who coordinated the events.

Loyola On Ice was also supported by the Dean of Students Office, the Concordia Council on Student Life, Residence Life, the Multi-Faith Chaplaincy and Recreation and Athletics.
