Great fun had by all thanks to Kat (first on the left). She did such a great job,? she’s going to be organising our St. Patricks Day Party.
Kat Hall? (organiser of our Australia Day Party) says:
After staying here for about 2 weeks and attending several of the social events held, I decided that it would be good to do something really big for Aussie Day this year, and boy did it turn out to be big! I wanted to have a really traditional day, with beer (lots of it), food and good old aussie sentiment and felt that only a true Australian could deliver it!Like many people I’ve met overseas, I’ve been awawy from home for about 9 months and wanted to have a day that made us (aussies) feel right at home (even though it was about -25 degrees outside (!, I don’t think that my mates back home will believe me when I tell them that I spent australia day in the snow!). It took a lot of time and organisation on my part, but all that work paid off in the end, and we had what many of the australian guests told me was probably one of the best australia day’s they’d ever had!!!
The festivities started at about 5pm, when everyone was shown the true extent of an Australian’s drinking capabilities by? drinking at least a? hundred litres of beer in? 5 hours. The traditonal barbie outside, as well as meat pies (!) followed, and the (very raucous) night continued with some aussie drinking games a (our favourite pasttime!). Finally, after a night of beer, cold chisel and stamping (don’t ask), our green and gold cast made our way to Philthy McNasty’s to continue the shenanigans. We final;ly staggered back to bed about 6am, ready for the inevitable hangovers that were to follow when we eventually woke up!!!
I just wanna say thanks to everyone who came for making my job so easy and enjoyable :- it definetely was one of the best australia days (apart from the fact that we are on the other side of the world). Also cheers to the staff for actually allowing me to hold it in the first place:-TOP NIGHT!!!

Hi Guys,
A? bit of a belated goodbye really, shame? I didn\’t get a chance to see you all? you before I left. Take it easy and here is a bit of a comment for you:
Cheers to Kat and the hostel for another quality night of drunken fun. I think I have had far too many good times during my 2-3 month stay here, this is definitly one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at. Cheers or clinky to pretty much everyone I met there, hope to meet you all again.
I will definitly be returning to the Canadiana when I do come back to Toronto, it does feel like my home.
cheers
Si
