Skating

Skating

Our location on Lake Ontario can have advantages, even in the winter. In 2006 the lake froze over during a period with very little snow, and it was an unforgettable experience to get out on the clear black ice and glide across the majestic lake on a beautiful winter day.

 
Hockey

Hockey

When conditions aren't right for skating outdoors, a group of physics students sometimes rents the ice in the phys-ed centre for a friendly game of hockey.

 
Soccer

Soccer

Here physics students play a game of soccer by the lake at lunchtime during the summer. In hot weather, a quick swim afterward is a great way to cool off before returning to physics for the afternoon.

 
Parties

Parties

It seems that every year we find at least one reason to party at Art's place. Here Barry, Art and George can be seen cracking open the champagne for a celebration of the SNO results.

 
Pig Roast

Pig Roast

The students put their culinary and technical abilities to the test and host a pig roast at Ryan's house with a home-made barbeque apparatus. (Note the assortment of rather unusual cooking utensils on the wall behind our hosts.)

 
Night Life

Night Life

It can't be said that physics students don't know how to enjoy the night life: Here, a group of students spend an evening by rigging the SNO calibration source manipulator test setup with a blue LED and programming the system to to spell out the word "SNO" in a 6800-point font. The image was captured in a time exposure by Lorne Erhardt as the source was moved through the pre-programmed pattern.

 
Ski Trips

Ski Trips

A group of physics students take a break by resting their feet on Ryan during a ski trip to Whiteface mountain with the Queen's ski club in 2006.
