This year for the picnic, it was a collaboration with Carleton University Tamil Students' Association (CUTSA). We had great weather, canoe rides, sports, games and BBQ. We had a great turnout.
As our final event, we held a graduation/exec appreciation dinner. The dinner was a huge success as many grads and UOTSU members came out. We would like to thank those who came out to Milestones. There were a variety of dishes to choose from as the food was delightful! We would like to congratulate the grads on their success at University of Ottawa.
The formal was a huge success with the other clubs ISF, UOPA, FBS, and PSF. This event was definitely the highlight of our year, as it was an amazing experience to collaborate with additional clubs. We would like to thank who came out and supported us throughout the event, which included many different dances and performances, good food and an open dance floor.
Skating on the Rideau Canal was a great time for the Tamil Community to get together. There was an amazing turnout who enjoyed skating along the world's longest canal.
The games and movie night was a huge success with many games such as poker and XBOX 360. It was a great get together for the students of the University of Ottawa to enjoy playing games and take a break from studies.
The Christmas dinner party was a nice get together for the students of the University of Ottawa. In celebration, it took place at the Ceylonta Restaurant in downtown Ottawa which had many amazing Tamil dishes.
This event included many students from Montreal, Cornwall, Toronto and Ottawa. Soccer, basketball, badminton and volleyball had some great turnouts. We have raised money for charities in Sri Lanka and India to support the less fortunate. We hope to continue this tradition every ear. A special thanks to the sponsors who made this event possible.
We appreciate those who came out to our Saraswathi Pooja in which we devoted our prayers to the Hindu goddesses of Lakshmi, Durga and Saraswathi.
Another school year, and new members. This is a time for new members to meet previous members and to learn about UOTSU and the University of Ottawa. A big thanks to all those who came out.
This picnic is our only summer event that brings all the Tamil communities from different age groups together. We had awesome weather, canoe rides, sports, games and of course the BBQ. We had an amazing turnout
On May 22nd, 2007, a group of eight individuals decided to undertake a journey on foot from Toronto to Ottawa to address constant issues of antagonism imposed by majority groups on minority groups. Various forms of stigma are often incorporated in everyday dialogue by individual belonging to majority groups to negatively portray minorities. The main objective of this walk was to create awareness of such events that target and segregate minority persons. The term "Errorism" was not only coined to address the oppression imposed on the Tamil Community, but to touch upon the general viewpoints of civilians in Western societies. The walk was completed on June 11, 2007, which marks "Student Uprising Day" in Tamil Eelam. A big thanks goes out to all those who supported them and participated in the campaign.
