The grants are awarded after a three-stage competition and a review process that focus on a number of factors, including research caliber, vision, program direction, and accumulated expertise and experience.
In this age of instant communication, it is crucial to find a cellular service provider that doesn’t empty your pockets but also doesn’t let you compromise on your connectivity needs. My priority upon moving to Vancouver was finding a phone plan.
Coming back to Terrace after eight months in Vancouver is a vaguely disconcerting experience, but it’s made easier by this group of people that help me trace the connection between who I am in my hometown and who I am in the city.
As a self professed coffee shop aficionado, I have compiled a list of my top recommendations of noteworthy Vancouver coffee shops and cafes, each of which are completely unique and only about a 20 minute bus ride away from UBC.
The Nest’s $68 million dollar construction loan will now be financed by RBC, saving students up to 50 million dollars. The original construction loan would have had students paying a levy for the Nest until 2045.

Sunday proved a more difficult match-up for the ’Birds, as the Thompson Rivers University (TRU) WolfPack capitalized on a consistent weakness in UBC’s defence: defending the counter-attack and through balls.
If you want pub food or a beer, Mahoney’s is overpriced and lame; Gallery 2.0 has some of the most incompetent service I’ve ever seen and a sad, sad menu; and Koerner’s is great but a little off the beaten path and open at weirdly inconsistent times.
UBC starting quarterback O’Connor — who averaged 324.8 passing yards per game last year — racked up an uncharacteristic 155 yards during the game. The ’Birds also had 23 penalties for a total loss of 210 yards.
Heartfelt Images — an annual contest for UBC medical and dental students — is now in its 17th year. Between 2011 and 2016, 262 students submitted 345 pieces of art including sketches, paintings, sculptures and original pieces of music.
Many of the permanent time changes are being put in place to reduce large wait times and overcrowding — two issues that any UBC student who has had a full bus zoom past them on the commute to campus will understand.
A season opener usually means a new beginning and an opportunity to test out a new team — a mix of seasoned veterans and energetic rookies. But the team failed to hit the right pace early and lost the match.
This year, the ’Birds will be seeing the return of prominent players like Michael O’Connor and Marcus Davis. Joining them will be a squad of new recruits to bolster the existing talent on all areas of the field.
I talked to UBC School of Music professor David Metzer, who teaches musicology with an emphasis on pop music. Our conversation turned to questions larger than Owl City’s resurgence: What is pop music? And what makes some songs so easy to parody?
