UBC Farm - August 22

The AAPS Summer Networking Series is a nice opportunity to connect with members from different departments and units in person on a small group tour and visit interesting places and spaces on campus. It is an opportunity for low-key networking, education, and a little exercise. It is also free and designed exclusively for AAPS members.

Outside walking tour
Thursday, August 22, 2024: 11:45am -1:00pm

The UBC Farm has been an integral part of UBC’s South Campus and one of the early examples of the impact a Living Laboratory can have on teaching, learning, and community engagement. As we walk around the farm, we will learn about the crops, growing practise, and ecology programs. If you have never had the opportunity to visit the farm for a meeting, workshop, or the market, now is the time.

Kindly note that the farm is located close to Wesbrook Village and is a bit of distance from campus. Please ensure you have additional time for getting there. The tour will take place on uneven field areas. Appropriate outdoor attire is needed.

Registration

You can register for the AAPS Summer Networking series on our website.

Please think about your work and vacation schedule before registering. You are expected to take part in the full networking and tour experience. Late arrivals and early leavers, will not work for this series. While emergencies and illnesses happen, last minute cancellations and no-shows can be problematic. Please be considerate of your fellow AAPS members and our tour hosts.

I am happy to chat with you about the tours, networking, getting to the venues, or accommodations. Please email me at sarah.muff@ubc.ca.

We hope to see you this summer!
