On May 1st 2026, UBC IT participated as part of 108 teams in the 16th annual UBC Faculty & Staff Sports Day. This annual event included activities scattered across the UBC Aquatic Centre, Student Recreation Centre (SRC), War Memorial Gym, MacInnes Family Field, and Rec North. UBC IT staff favorites included Pool Noodle Javelin, Mini Pickleball, and Squirt Bottle Relay, amongst others.
Over 610 faculty and staff from across campus participated, with many teams dressing up in costumes. Events like this highlight the spirit and connection that make our community thrive. We are proud of UBC IT staff for contributing to a culture of wellbeing, engagement, and community across campus.
To stay active this summer, UBC Recreation is hosting the Faculty and Staff Summer Sports Series. This program offers free sports tournaments and drop-in programming for those working on UBC Vancouver’s Point Grey campus.
