Winter carnival

The 2010 Winter Olympics fast approaching. As a current supporter of UNBC, I am excited to extend a special invitation for you and your families to join the UNBC community in celebrating the spirit of the games.  
 
On February 12, the Northern Undergraduate Student Society will be presenting UNBC’s first Winter Carnival. Starting at 3:00pm, there will be free outdoor activities, ice skating, live entertainment, horse-drawn hay rides, hot cocoa and much more. I encourage you to come out and support the students as they celebrate the season.
 
Following the carnival, join us at an Olympic Opening Ceremony Celebration in the Northern University Student Centre (NUSC). Beginning at 5:30pm, this event will include complimentary food, custom UNBC mittens, as well as live coverage of the Olympic Winter Games Opening Ceremony being held at Vancouver’s BC Place.

Please join us as we celebrate our city, province and country, as well as the arrival of the world’s greatest athletes.
 
Very Best Wishes,
George Iwama
President and Vice-Chancellor
