Faculty & Staff Sports Day

This free event is designed for faculty and staff members of UBC to have fun and get moving with their colleagues. Join us with a team of 4-6 for an afternoon of fun on the UBC Point Grey Campus on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Musqueam people. Teams will participate in various games and activities followed by an “apres” social time with snacks and beverages. This event is perfect for colleagues looking for an afternoon of activities that facilitate teamwork, communication, and getting to know one another.
