Queen's frosh made sure their first day after moving in was a memorable one.

According to organizers, a total of 2,017 first-year students, the majority whom moved into residence on Sunday, took part in a massive game of Capture the Flag, on Monday afternoon. As a result, Queen's shattered the former record of 700 participants set by the University of Victoria in 2012.

Crowds of students filled the campus on Labour Day, donning their team colours - red or blue - and getting in the spirit of orientation week by painting their faces as well.

Orientation activities continue throughout the week.
