During Thrive Week, you’re invited to enjoy a free skate at Rotary Place! Hot cocoa will be provided, and skates are available to borrow while sizes last. If skating isn’t your thing, stop by Simcoe Hall for more winter-themed treats and games! This is a great way to beat the winter blues, get active, connect with others, and embrace the fun side of winter, supporting your overall well-being and helping you thrive through the colder months.

Are you a student creator? Join the Student Maker Market as a vendor and showcase your unique handmade goods!

Not selling? Come support your fellow students, discover one-of-a-kind items, and connect with the creative community on campus.

All students who attend and explore the market will be entered into a prize draw for a bundle featuring a special item from each vendor!

We will have a variety of community organizations on campus for you to explore—many of which you might encounter and utilize during your time as a student but may not yet know are available to you. It’s a great opportunity to learn about the services they offer, ask questions, and discover how the broader community beyond Lakehead can support you throughout your time in school. 

All students who attend can enter into our prize draw for an amazing community-themed bundle featuring items like a vinyl record from Alleycats, a Mariposa Market gift basket, Cards & Coasters ramen bowl, DWN Craft Chocolatier “Chillin Mix,” divided lunch containers and tea infuser from The Kitchen Shop, and a Poppies Bagel Co. T-shirt!
