Hart House has so much to offer! This is your chance to explore arts, dialogue, wellness and community engagement.

About

Each year in September, Hart House invites the entire University to stop by for a visit, check out all the different ways to get involved and meet our friendly staff and the students who run our clubs and committees.

Well, 2020 is no different, except that this year, we invite you to visit us virtually during our special two-day Explore Hart House “open house” event. Join as many or as few sessions as you wish. With just one sign-up, you get all-day access. Try to solve a chess puzzle, discover your creativity with writing prompts, brush up on music trivia or watch a debate. Just explore!
