SCARLET & GOLD COMMISSIONER
Ninon Crestois
In the Fall semester, the Scarlet & Gold Commission has been dedicated to bringing our commission back to the forefront and planning for our highly anticipated event in the Winter semester. As part of the student experience, it is essential to connect with peers and gain diverse perspectives, and the Scarlet & Gold strives to create events where students feel a sense of belonging within Victoria College and among their peers. Last semester, we ended with a booth at VOCA's Home for the Holiday Event, where students learned to make snowflake decorations. The turnout was fantastic, and the snowflakes made an appearance as decoration for our Midwinter Semi-formal in January.

Midwinter Semi-formal
Speaking of Midwinter Semi-formal, we started the winter semester with a bang by hosting the successful event in our very own Old Vic. We transformed the foyer into a winter wonderland using the snowflakes that students had made at the Home for the Holiday event. We were thrilled to have sold out the event, and students enjoyed the festivities all night long. The dance floor was packed with enthusiastic students, and both group dances and competitions were observed. Above all, the evening remained safe for everyone, and no incidents were encountered. Many students told us that the event made up for the prom they were unable to have due to COVID-19, which was heartwarming to hear. Based on our experience with this event, we are confident in hosting a successful Highball in March.
Highball 2023
Highball has long been the most highly anticipated social event at Victoria College, providing students with the opportunity to celebrate the end of the year in a luxurious and unforgettable manner. Sadly, the COVID19 pandemic forced us to put Highball on hold for the past four years. However, we are thrilled to announce that Highball will be making a comeback this year! Our goal is to make this event as accessible as possible to all Vic students, and we're working tirelessly to strike the perfect balance between attendance and ticket costs.
The VUSAC council has been buzzing with excitement, coming up with a plethora of creative ideas for themes and activities to elevate the night beyond a simple ball. We're passionate about delivering an exceptional experience, and we can't wait to unveil the results next month. Stay tuned for updates and get ready to join us for a night you'll never forget!
