As part of joining our private residential community, our members receive weekly updates about the community, upcoming events, developments in the student residence and any other relevant news. We've decided to post these updates on our website in order to let our visitors looking for student housing get an inside view of the Chelsea House student life!
Dear CH family,
Welcome back to the CH Show!!! 📺
So you've been in Montreal 🍁 for a couple of months now. Slowly getting yourself used to the life here and exploring the different things to do in the city. You're probably thinking, what else does this huge, bustling, and vibrant city have to offer? 🤔
This week we're featuring a not-so-popular staple in Montreal 🤭, the latest news from Canada's favorite coffee stop ☕️ , and a glimpse into the home of the largest international comedy festival in the world 🎭 . We also have some pretty exciting updates from your favorite premium student residence and a very important reminder for our members (both of which you shouldn't skip) 👀
Alright, let's hit it! 💪🏻
THE INSIDER'S REPORT: MONTREAL NEWS YOU NEED TO KNOW
- Did you know that aside from poutine, there's another infamous French-Canadian dish that was invented in Quebec? It's called Pizzaghetti 🍕🍝. We know our Italian 🇮🇹 members may be shaking their heads in disbelief 🤣, however, for the brave ones who would like to try this odd combo, check out these restaurants: Reubens, Salonica, Marconi, and Zappy Pizza 👀

Hey, Chelsea Fam! This week's spotlight is on Armand from France 🇫🇷
He is taking up Economics at Cégep André-Laurendeau 🙇♂️
Armand is a pretty chill guy who does boxing 🥊, rugby 🏉, and kitesurfing 🏄♂️ during his free time.
Apart from these highly physical sports activities, he also loves cooking 👨🍳 , meeting new people 🤝 and going out with friends 😁
People close to Armand describe him as someone who is funny, nice, and childish ❤️

HOUSE UPDATES
- 🚨 REMINDER 🚨
In light of the recent Chelsea App 📲 glitch, we would like to once again remind everyone to bring your physical fob keys with you AT ALL TIMES 🙏🏻
As reported by our tech team, this unforeseen incident was due to an update initiated by Windows, not by our team. Hence, as much as it is convenient to rely on your phones alone, we do not want you to get locked out of the building and your apartments should a similar issue happen in the future.
We thank you for your usual understanding and cooperation, Chelsea Fam 🙏🏻
- Have you guys seen this beauty along one of our halls at Chelsea House, yet? If not, do check it out 👀
The Chelsea Art Project is something that our founder, PJ, has been working on since the first quarter of 2022. The Montreal based “Le LivArt” Art Center 🖼 has accepted to assist us in decking out our halls with art ! The inspiration is to have a mix of antique frames, modern black frames & frameless art works put up in our hallways & staircase.
Visually we will want to continue with the design theme of combining (clash) antique with modern, so in this case we will have photography, serigraphy, painted artwork. We will also have some framed pieces which will be interactive (think white board, pin board).
Watch out for more amazing pieces to be added to our beautiful home! 🏡
If you want to contribute to the effort ! Let us know 🙏
Alright, that's it for now!
Stay Classy,
The Chelsea House Community Team
