Happy vacation from your summer vacation!

It’s August 1^st, and that can only mean one thing in Canada. Well, several things actually, depending on where you find yourself on this midsummer morning. If you’re reading this in Calgary, Happy Heritage Day! If you’re relaxing in Vancouver, Happy British Columbia Day! And if you find yourself on the shores of Lake Ontario, Happy Simcoe Day!

But if we’re coming to you in Quebec, Nunavut, or Newfoundland - or even south of the border - it’s business as usual this Monday. It’s quite unfair, really, not to have a vacation from your summer vacation, so we’ll try to ease the pain with some exciting news.

The OOHLALA team is thrilled to now be partnering with…drum roll please…the Ontario College of Art & Design! Located in the heart of Toronto, OCAD University is turning out artistic greats in everything from photography to advertising to environmental design. This fall, student life just got a little more awesome for thousands of OCAD students who will now be able to connect with Campus Life using our latest mobile app. That means even the next Emily Carr, Jackson Pollock or Don Draper will be able to find out what’s going on at OCAD’s downtown campus, manage their social life, and get student discounts exclusive to OOHLALA users. This calls for a little summer celebrating!

Stay cool,

Meg
