Pinecrest: In October, we go on a 3-day trip to YMCA Camp Pinecrest in Muskoka. We participate in the camp activities such as archery, hiking, high ropes and campfires. It is a great way to get to know one another! 

Winterfest Extended Activity Week: In December, we organize our annual seasonal celebration called Winterfest! This concert showcases our talent and is a chance for City View families to enjoy delicious pot-luck snacks & desserts together to help start the festive season. 

During the Extended Activity Week you have time to rehearse as well as participate in all kinds of fun workshops led by parent volunteers, teachers, student teachers and even students. Workshops have included yoga, activist button making, sewing, cartooning and cinnamon bun making. We even bake cookies for the Halloween dance. Another great thing about Extended Activity Week is that it allows you time to finish your work if you're falling behind. In fact, you can’t participate in the fun activities until you’ve caught up on all your work. And if you need help finishing, well, the teachers are all there to support you and give you an extra push to get it all done. This keeps anyone from falling too far behind.

Other trips have included: Rock climbing, Skiing and Snowboarding, Skating, Alternative Schools Soccer and Ultimate Frisbee Days, attending galleries and museums, Theatre performances, St. Lawrence Market Historical tours and Hot Docs Film Festival for young people.
