Winter is well underway, which often means busy schedules and finding ways to stay entertained when it’s cold outside. As a Durham College (DC) graduate, you have access to alumni discounts designed to support both everyday needs and seasonal adventures. From saving on taxes to scoring deals on ski hills and travel, these Alumni Perks are here to make winter a little more fun (and a lot more affordable).
Here are some alumni discounts worth checking out this winter:
1. Take the Stress Out of Tax Season
Winter equals tax prep season. Alumni can save on professional tax services or trusted online filing tools, helping you file accurately and check this task off of your adulting to-do list.
2. Hit the Slopes for Less
Snow days aren’t just for kids. Alumni discounts at Dagmar Ski Resort and Mont-Tremblant can mean reduced lift tickets or rentals. If you’re a seasoned skier or a first-timer, these perks are your excuse to embrace winter instead of hide from it.
3. Stay Active Indoors
Not into the cold? Totally fair. Try out a new indoor activity instead! DC Alumni can tap into discounts at BATL Axe Throwing in Pickering, Dunny’s Divots Indoor Golf, Fairgrounds Public Racket Club in Whitby, and Trapped Ajax escape rooms. Perfect for staying active when the sidewalks are icy and motivation is low.
4. Travel Smarter This Winter
If you’re planning a winter getaway, don’t forget to check your Alumni Perks when making your itinerary. Travel perks include discounts on hotels, car rentals, flights, or vacation packages. Whether you’re chasing sunshine or snow, a little savings makes the trip even sweeter.
5. Gear Up for the Cold
Level up your winter wardrobe and outdoor gear with Alumni Perks and bundle up without blowing your budget. DC Alumni can access savings at a number of retail locations including fan favourites RW&CO and SoftMoc.
