Seniors’ Sports Program | April 3

UBC Emeriti Seniors’ Sports Program focuses on modified small-sided games and racquet sport opportunities. An integral part of the UBC Emeriti Seniors’ Sports Program will include post-activity social. In the initial phase, programs begin in April until September.

The below schedule is subject to change. Please reach out to Harry Hubball harry.hubball@ubc.ca for the most up-to-date information.

NOTE ABOUT PARTICIPATION: Due to complex facility booking, sport-specific costs, and availability, the schedule will be posted at least 1-month in advance and ‘signed-up’ participants will be required to confirm their attendance 2 weeks prior. Those who have already signed-up for a scheduled sport will have 1st priority. Anyone who wishes to join an activity should contact Harry Hubball prior to the event to confirm availability: harry.hubball@ubc.ca

*SAFETY-FIRST & MODIFIED SENIORS’ SPORTS.

If you are taking part in the activities of the Emeritus College Sports SIG, please recognize that you do so voluntarily for recreational purposes. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are in good health and are comfortable with the modified sport you are taking part in. You must wear any recommended safety equipment (e.g., shin guards, appropriate footwear, etc) as required and participate in a safe manner by obeying rules and regulations. Furthermore, to prevent injury, ensure that you conduct personal warm-up and cool-down strategies, prior to, and following participation in seniors’ sport.

Philosophers' Café | Mar 28

Undue influence, even corruption?

Gangs importing and selling drugs are making huge profits. Foreign donors may have influenced elections in Canada. Sam Cooper, the BC author of “Wilful Blindness”, argued that various officials may be complicit in illicit underground transactions. Should we be concerned, and if so, what should we be doing?

What do you think?

The Philosopher’s Cafés will be held in the Club Room in Tapestry at Wesbrook Village at 11:00am.  
Coffee and tea will be offered by Tapestry. You may reserve to have lunch at Tapestry after the Café by calling (604) 225-5000 or by checking in with the front desk before the Café.
