Students have ample opportunity to take part in scheduled and spontaneous events throughout the entire year. Almost every weekend, boarding students can partake in an array of activities. This year students have played laser tag and paintball, went skiing, had movie nights in residence, competed in basketball and volleyball tournaments, enjoyed Karaoke and make your own pizza and sushi nights.
Weekend activities are a key element of life in the Albert College community. Typically, they start in September with a "Welcome to Albert" dance and paintball. In October we get together to watch scary movies and set the tone for the frightfully fun Haunted House and Halloween Dance. To finish the first term, students' talents are displayed in a Coffee House and generally they get ready for the holidays with a shopping trip to Toronto.
After the holidays students visit Ottawa to see Canada's Parliament Buildings and the National Art Gallery, to attend the annual Winterlude Festival and take part in traditional activities like skating on the Rideau Canal and shopping at the historic Byward Market.
In addition to all these activities, the Social Committee plans spirit week, movie nights, outings to some of our great area beaches and a trip to Canada's Wonderland, one of our country's premiere theme parks.
