Discover Local Culture
Art galleries are a window into the local community, showcasing themes like climate, landscape, and family that are unique to the region. It’s a great way to learn about Canadian culture and perspectives in an engaging and visual way.
Make Connections
Events like these are perfect for meeting other students, forming friendships, and building a sense of community. Moving to a new country can feel isolating, and events like these help students feel more connected.
A Fun Break from Studies
Exploring art is relaxing and inspiring—it’s a chance to step away from academic pressures and recharge while doing something creative and enjoyable.
Learn the City
Getting to the gallery involves navigating public transit with a group, which is a great way for international students to become more familiar with the OC Transpo system and for you to feel confident exploring Ottawa on your own.
Here’s what’s in store for you:
- Connect: Meet other students and GO-ISSO volunteers before we head out.
- Travel Together: Ride OC Transpo as a group—no need to figure out transit alone! Just bring your Campus Card for transit!
- Explore: Check out thought-provoking exhibits with fellow students.
- Navigate Home: GO-ISSO staff and volunteers will help you figure out your transit route back home.
This is your chance to enjoy a cultural experience, make new friends, and explore Ottawa—all in one go! Don’t miss out!
