Spend Friday relaxing under the stars…

To start the weekend on a relaxing note, head for the Strøm Spa in Sherbrooke. Once a month, the Nordic spa stays open late (until 1am) to allow spa-goers to enjoy an evening under the stars, complete with DJ and a Martini bar. The spa offers three packages – with or without a massage.
