It’s September and that can only mean one thing… Back-to-School season has arrived. Aside from the academic grind, it’s important to create a balanced social calendar – and we’re here to help!
Here’s a breakdown of all the events coming your way this September!
Free Week
September 11 – 17
Free Week offers UBC students, faculty, and staff the opportunity to try out a variety of fitness programs and activities. From Ballet to Zumba to TNT Boot Camp, there’s something for everyone to try! No experience is required, and all abilities are welcome.
Women (Trans Welcome) & 2STNB Fitness Hours
Starting September 11
These programs are held at specific times throughout the week. They offer access to private studio time, equipment, and supervision of staff who self-identify as women or 2STNB.
Intramural Recess
September 13
Join us for a trip down memory lane, where you get to revisit all your favorite childhood games. Play some Jenga, do arts & crafts, and win prizes! Feel free to ask us any of your questions regarding UBC Recreation and its many programs. We will be set up on Main Mall from 11:00 – 3:00 PM.
Fall Wellbeing Walks
Starting September 13
Twice a month, the UBC Move U Crew hosts a 45-minute themed lunch walk around campus. These walks are a great way to meet new people, explore the campus, have some fun, and get moving! Open to all students, staff, faculty, and community members. Registration is required. Please see schedule below.
