November is a great month to reflect on your first two months of the semester to check-in with yourself and see how you are feeling. Have you taken advantage of the programs and services offered on campus? Have you met new friends and feel connected to your campus? A great way to make connections and memories at UBCO is to take part in November’s Thrive month. One of the ways you can do this is through being active which positively impacts your mental health. Thus, Recreation is offering a variety of FREE Group Fitness Classes and new off-campus events with Student Days at F45 and SpinCo. Our signature GLOW WITH THE FLOW event is back for Thrive. Grab your friends as we pack the gym to celebrate movement and mental health with a live DJ, glow sticks, face paint and an incredible night of yoga! Looking to try new sports from other cultures? Intercultural Sport Series starts November 1, meet the student clubs on campus and try new activities! So many Recreation options to keep you healthy this November!
