BCBWP Lending Library

The BCBWP aims to foster greater engagement and collaboration within our program. Thanks to a Workplace and Community Grant, provided by the Ministry of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion of Canada, we can now provide our participants the tools they need to succeed in their classes. These funds allowed us to launch this small lending library or exercise and technical equipment to participants free of cost. We welcome all participants who may not have access to exercise and technical equipment due to either financial, geographical or external constraints to apply for equipment rental.

Please note that our supply is limited. Equipment will be distributed as needed and sustained.

Creative Collective: Featured Creator of the Month - Sherry

Being on the water reminds Sherry to explore nature and heal beyond her illness.

Kayaking in Haida Gwaii was a creative challenge that allowed her to move forward and try again, to not accept her body that had once been a high-level figure skater could not find a way to stand and explore exercise as a healing tool, one step at a time.

Community Events

UBC Walking Club

The UBC Walking Club provides a great opportunity to connect with individuals of your community and get some exercise for free. Groups meet weekly on campus for one hour walks led by UBC Kinesiology students.

To join email Julianna Shipanoff at julianna.shipanoff@ubc.ca and indicate your current walking abilities, or regular walking habits, along with any health information we should be aware of for safety purposes (e.g. heart/lung conditions).
