Message from the Chair

On behalf of the University Neighbourhoods Association (UNA) Board of Directors and staff, I am happy to welcome you to the community!

You are joining a vibrant and diverse community of over 14,000 residents in a truly unique location – a beautiful peninsula known for its ocean views, old-growth forest and, of course, the University of British Columbia (UBC).

The UNA is committed to the development of a healthy and vibrant community, and provides services and facilities that promote health, safety, sustainability, communication, interaction, culture, recreation, comfort and convenience to residents.

Our beautiful community includes Chancellor Place, East Campus, Hampton Place, Hawthorn Place, Wesbrook Place and two designated buildings: Central and Focal. For your convenience, we have outlined the UNA’s services and facilities in this Guidebook. The Board of Directors is always happy to hear from you and invite you to engage with us during Board Meetings, Annual General Meetings, community events, volunteer opportunities or over coffee and a walk.

I hope to see you around!

Richard Watson
Chair, UNA Board of Directors
