Are we even allowed to read during "Reading Week"? SPRING BREAK update 🌍😎 - CH Newsletter #57 (March 3, 2023)

As part of joining our private student residence, 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 Chelsea House family,
 

Welcome back to the CH Show!!! πŸ“Ί - This is the weekly update to keep you abreast of what’s good in Montreal, the city we love ❀️, as well as updates from your beloved student residence community πŸ‘ (an another benefit is this keeps parents back home jealous at all times & updated enough not to blow up your phones lolβ€οΈπŸ™ ).

Remember when we felt like January lasted 89 years? 😫 Well, there must be a glitch in the matrix because February flew by so fast and we're now in March! 😱 As much as we want to tell you that it will be all sunny days moving forward, unfortunately, we still have some snowy days ahead of us. πŸ₯Ά

 But that shouldn't stop us from having some fun, right? πŸ’ͺ🏽

Are you ready??? Let's get this show on the road!!! πŸŽπŸ’¨
 

THE INSIDER'S REPORT: MONTREAL NEWS YOU NEED TO KNOW

 If you're new here (which many of you are - we've added 4 new members who are coming in Fall 2023 this week!! They'll be lurking in the newsletter from here on out 😝) - the Insider's Report is where you benefit from the Community Team's local Montreal knowledge to guide you, dear CH student residence members, to what we hope is a true student housing experience. In all cases, forget the tourist traps, here's WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW, for this week.

  • Montreal was named one of the Best Cycling Cities in the World by CNN πŸš΄πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
While this may be an activity that you have to save for sunnier days, we are pleased to be included in this list! ❀️ Montreal has always taken pride in its bike-friendly roads, and we definitely have cycling connections that give you the best view of the city. Some of these lead to the City's biggest parks such as Parc Jean-Drapeau and Parc Maisonneuve!

If you don't own a bicycle, you can still enjoy this activity through Bixi! πŸ˜‰
