Happy Monday, Victoria!

The elections are now over and it’s time to roll into the week with some fun events this Monday by catching a scary movie at the campus theatre or some pub trivia or a comedy show at The Mint!

If none of that sounds interesting, try checking out the Craft Rave at Beehive Fibre Arts Centre.

Here are 5 things to do in and around Victoria this Monday, October 26th:
