Totem Plays Outdoors
Totem Plays Outdoors is a hiking group that explores trails around Vancouver! Whether you’re new to Vancouver or you know the trails like the back of your hand, come out, get off campus, and enjoy the beautiful West Coast!
Our expeditions occur about once a month and cater to a variety of skill levels. We take public transit to the trail heads. Join our Facebook group (TBA) or send us an email to receive notifications about upcoming hikes. See you on the trails!
Health and Wellness
Passionate about nutrition? Exercise and fitness? Spiritual and mental well-being? So are we! The Health and Wellness Committee is a group of Totem Park residents who want to learn and help others learn how to lead a healthy lifestyle. Come find us at our smoothie-making contest, our fitness competitions, our yoga class and our Totem pet visit later this term.
Equity and Global Citizenship
The equity and global citizenship committee promotes an even playing field for those from all races, genders and disabilities both visible and invisible. It embraces and celebrates the global community that is UBC and Totem Park residence. Our goal is to Educate, Celebrate and Appreciate. If you would like to learn more, contact us at equityandglobalcitizenship@gmail.com
The Totem A-Team is here to help you get the most out of your academic time at UBC. Study Café will be held every Tuesday and Thursday from 8:30-11pm in the Dining Hall! Get help from upper-year students in your faculty, meet other students in your classes, get motivational tips from the A-Team pros, or just take advantage of setting aside some study time featuring some cozy hot cocoa.
Totem Park Coffee House is a space for residents to express themselves – be it through voice, instruments, spoken word, comedy, clowning, art, motion, or something else! Each month, Coffee House will host an open mic night open to all residents who would like to share their talent, or simply observe and appreciate others’ performances.
Coffee House warmly invites you and your friends to join one of Totem Park’s most cherished traditions. Take a break to enjoy Totem’s incredible talent – and don’t forget to bring a mug for hot chocolate! (If you’d like to perform, sign up at our booth, through our Facebook, or by email.)

Sustainability
We aim to plan and implement a wide variety of events to promote Sustainability in Totem Park. Some of the things we plan on doing this year include an annual tradition called Aim To Sustain and a Totem-wide house competition to see which house can save the most energy. We are also planning a 100-mile dinner and many other events.
