Welcome back and we hope you all had a great Winter break and are refreshed to start the new term!
To kick off the new year come and join us for a fun filled afternoon of ice skating at UBC Thunderbird Arena.
We will be holding a rock climbing event this Friday, Nov. 19th at Cliffhanger climbing gym, Vancouver. Event starts at 1800 until 2000. For everyone who wants to come, we will be selling tickets in the Cube office (ICICS X139) for $10 (cash only). This is an awesome deal as we’re subsidizing some of the cost. Also, there are only 20 tickets available so get yours now!
Cliffhanger is a climbing gym located at 670 Industrial Ave., Vancouver BC V6A 2P3. For the map link: http://tinyurl.com/CSSS-climbing
Be aware that you will need to fill out a waiver. For anyone under 19, we will also need your parent or guardian’s signature on the consent form. No waiver, no climbing, period.
Join your fellow Cubers for a fun afternoon of ice skating at the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Winter Sports Centre. Admission is free as we will be going during free skating time, and the Arena knows we’ll be coming. Feel free to drop by and skate, whether you can make it for the whole time, or just a few minutes.
If you don’t have skates, UBC Thunderbird Arena rents skates out at $3.50. Their sizes range from child 8 to adult 13.
Please email if you plan to attend, and whether you need skate rentals, so we can get an idea of numbers.
