Hey, CH fam and friends! Meet our star for this week -- Gwen from Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦
She is currently taking up Political Science at Concordia University 👩🏻🏫
Gwen chose Chelsea House as her home in Montreal because of the welcoming environment, familiarity, and the potential of having good relationships with her roommates and others in the community.
She is interested in many things and always excited to learn new hobbies! She loves different types of music (especially the ones from the 70's), reading, and cinematography. She's also into arts and crafts (like crocheting, etc.)
Gwen has trained, competed, and taught Taekwondo and loves cross-country, basketball, and enjoys many other sports. Apart from that, she also plays video and board games during her free time.

HOUSE UPDATES
🚨 REMINDERS 🚨- For those of you who won't be coming back next semester, please make sure that you leave your keys in the box located at the office (above the printer).
This is SUPER important as we will be retrieving the said keys upon return of our staff after the holidays. Note that if we find that your keys or any possession of Chelsea House is missing, you will be charged accordingly against your security deposit.
On the other hand, if you’re leaving on vacation, do not forget your keys. There will be limited staff over the holidays so we don’t want you getting locked out 😬
- Again, we ask EVERYONE to please complete the holiday schedule form that we have provided in the WhatsApp group chat, if you haven’t already. This will help us ensure that there will be no surprises during the holiday break. It would also enable us to make the necessary arrangement for those of you who will be staying at CH house during this time.
Alright, that's it for now!
Stay Classy,
The Chelsea House Community Team
