SSSBC keeps students connected to the Saudi Embassy and the Saudi Arabian Cultural Bureau in Ottawa. SSSBC organizes weekly cultural, educational, social (monthly dinners and Eid celebrations..etc) and sports activities (Soccer, Billiard and table tennis tournaments), these activities come after a busy week to relief students and their families and strengthen the bonds among community members.
