It started snowing on P.E.I. this past week, and that means some students are learning just how frosty the Island can be.
Eddie Childs, president of the Holland College Student Union, said the school has a lot of international students who will be experiencing their first winter in Canada.
“Everyone in the world knows us for our winters, but when you get here the rubber really meets the road and you realize that you need a little bit more than a light jacket,” Childs said.
To help students get through a harsh P.E.I. winter, the student union is collecting donations ahead of its annual winter clothing swap, because items flew off the shelves last year.
