Yay! Paralympics!

The start of the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games is less than two weeks away!

UBC will host Ice Sledge Hockey at the UBC Thunderbird Arena. Twenty games will be played between March 13 and March 20, matching up eight countries.

The 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Secretariat has posted the Ice Sledge Hockey schedule on their website. Of particular interest to people who work and study at the Point Grey campus will be Tuesday, March 16,  during which four Ice Sledge Hockey games will be held at UBC. The first game begins at 10:00 a.m.

We will likely see an increase in traffic (both bus and vehicular) to campus on this day. Your regular commute may be impacted.
