After enduring a winter that didn’t seem to want to end, it’s hard to believe that summer is only a few weeks away! With nice and sunny weather coming our way, now is the perfect opportunity to explore the Vancouver campus in just under a half hour.
As part of UBC SEEDS Sustainability Program and in conjunction with the David Suzuki Foundation’s 30×30 challenge, two students from the Program created a series of 30 minute walks. The walks are aimed to not only encourage a more active lifestyle, but to showcase the breathtaking scenery UBC has to offer. Although the five routes vary in distance, steps, terrain and difficulty level, all are equally rewarding.
