Life after Thanksgiving

Welcome to ISM at the UofT

Now the weather's colder our activities are mainly inside. Some of the activities will only be announced on our email list so get in touch with us. If you are interested in making Kimchi, or going to the art gallery, or perhaps even ice skating or other things, get on our email list.

Upcoming events

Badminton and Table Tennis
Saturday, January 19, 3-5 pm
Time to work off a little stress with a game of badminton or table tennis.  No skill necessary 
Directions: The Chinese Presbyterian Church in the gym, 177 Beverley Street, just two blocks south of the campus. Beverley is the continuation of St. George Street when it goes south of College.
Please enter from Baldwin Street down some stairs close to the Ramein restaurant
Bring: Please wear athletic shoes (sports shoes, running shoes).  Ordinary shoes will leave black marks on the floor and make Tony unpopular with the janitor!
We have all the badminton racquets and table tennis bats – no need to bring.

A Taste of Urbana
Sunday Jan 20, 7pm-9:30pm
What: A whole bunch of UofT students went to Urbana, Missouri, USA after Christmas.  They’ll be sharing their stories of how God met them there in powerful ways.  Steven Shen will be sharing his story in Mandarin. (This is not an official ISM event rather one we are invited to attend)
