ABS is an association for Bangladeshi students at UBCO. Our mother tongue is Bengali or Bangla. We are the nation who sacrificed their lives to fight for our language on 21 February 1952 which later was declared as the International Mother Language Day. We plan to take an initiative where we will sit weekly on Saturdays and nurture our Bangla language skills and culture. We would like this event to be open to all who are interested to learn our sweet mother tongue Bangla. We would also like to extend this program for the Bangladeshi community in the Okanagan region. If anyone wants to learn the Bengali language, they can join the classes. It will be open for the kids of our future generation as well. We also plan to teach our students our national anthem and some traditional songs.

Peer Support Network
2023-12-11 11:00 - 14:00 | UNC Resource Centre, 3272 University Way, Kelowna, B.C, V1V 1V7, Canada
The UBCO Peer Support Network (PSN) was founded in 2014 and is a space on campus where students can come and speak with a peer about a challenge, struggle, and/or personal hardship they may be facing. As a paraprofessional service, the PSN does not diagnose or treat mental illness and is not a substitute for services provided by health professionals (e.g., counsellors, psychologists, social workers, physicians). Rather than giving advice, volunteers will be there to provide welcoming, confidential, and empathetic peer-based support using active listening and resource referral. Alongside the Women’s Resource Center and the Pride Resource Center, the Network will strive to ensure that no student feels alone no matter what concern they are struggling with and will aim to increase awareness of mental health and wellness within the campus community.
