SFU campus-wide snowball fight planned for Wednesday
Students at Simon Fraser University are planning their very own campus-wide snowball fight, in a move that closely follows the major snowball fight at the University of British Columbia earlier this week.
The SFU event will be held on Wednesday, February 8 from 12:45 pm to 1:30 pm at Terry Fox Field at the Burnaby Mountain campus. Participants should arrive by 12:30 pm, but snow cannot be hurled until after the official countdown to the free, fun event.
“Because we can’t let UBC kids have all the fun, and I need to make up for all the snowballs I never threw in high school,” said a student organizer on a Facebook event page.
Over 1,000 people are expected to attend the snowball fight at SFU.
