You will notice that on the right hand side of this page there is a link called "KGIC Toronto Photo Album". If you click there you will see a photo album for KGIC Toronto, but we have a problem. There are NO PHOTOS! Please send any activities or personal photos to me and I will post them in the photo album.
This is a great way to show what a great time you are having here at KGIC Toronto. You can send your photos to Trevor's personal or his work email - toronto-activity@kgic.ca . Don't worry about the size of the picture. Even very large files are fine. This is also true for videos.
I hope to see a lot of pictures soon!

Thursday .... just one more day before the weekend!
Hey guys, I hope you enjoyed the Steam Whistle Brewery Tour last night! Wenke had a good time I know, but maybe the tour guide could have used a microphone? Anyhow I hope everyone got their $8 worth of tour, beer and souvenirs.
Thursday night, no activities, but if you are looking for something to do joe nightclub is featuring its 'Fiddy Thursdays' event. This means that every Thursday if you go to joe nightclub you can have fifty cent draft beer. That's right $0.50 beer! They are also offering free cover for international students. Aaron, a friend of mine will be the DJ for the night. If you go to joe nightclub instead of paying the entrance fee please just say "I am on Aaron's list".
Free cover charge, and fifty cent beer. How's that for a Thursday night??

Also,
Check out the Santa Claus Parade on Sunday, November 19th. KGIC will be meeting at 12:30 at Spadina Subway Station (Walmer Road exit).
