Well, I know it is not something we all want to hear but the end of summer is here. Which means many things with mixed feelings. The summer has been fun adventuring with the family around the valley and staying at our small cabin in the woods. Zuko my Cane Corso will miss the number of summer adventures but will appreciate the fall as the kids will be off to school and the house is all his… With the coming of fall, we welcome cooler weather, and we snow goers are eagerly awaiting snow at the local ski hills! Not to mention the relief from the current wildfire conditions we are faced with. With all the changes there is one thing I can assure you is that the Athletics and Recreation team is ready to serve you! Be sure to check out all the opportunities and programs we have to offer both on and off-campus. The Athletics and Recreation team is also very excited to welcome back sports to the UBCO campus with sporting games in the Furnace (gymansium) as well as Nonis Field! Be sure to check out GoHeat.ca for all the sports schedules and upcoming events! As well keep an eye on our socials @UBCOHeat!
