🎄🍦 CSSS Touch-Grass x Ice Cream Hike🍦🎄

posted by Arya Faghihy on June 20, 2023, 11:08 a.m.

How did everything come to be?
What is the purpose of life?
What is our place in the world?...your place in the world?
Why? How? What? Where? When?

Well FEAR NOT! FOR THE CSSS EVENTS COMMITTEE HAS THE ANSWER: grass 🎄

The CSSS Touch-Grass x Ice Cream Hike will be happening this Sunday, June 25th, from 01:00 PM - 03:00 PM, at Burnaby Mountain Park.

Here's the game plan:

- Meet the group at 01:00 PM at the CS Common Room (ASB 9802)
...OR...
- Meet us at 01:30 PM at the lower bus loop.

Now what do we do about the undeniable reality of Summer = heat 🔥? Participants will be served Ice🍦Cream to wash all the heat off 🌊

For those of you who are unsure about the effectiveness of a hike, I have attached a never-seen-before-before-and-after picture of a person whose life was turned around by hiking alongside grass.

You will find attached that picture, along with a picture of the campus that shows where the lower bus loop is.

See you there!
