Aboriginal Student Outreach
The UBC LTS-PP, as part of its Access Initiative, is trying to expand its reach into Aboriginal communities and schools. This is in line with UBC's current policy as outlined by the December 2007 Letter to the UBC Community from President Stephen J. Toope Where does UBC stand .
To date, UBC LTS-PP has traveled to Port Alberni, helped run hands on demonstrations at the First Nations Invitational Soccer Tournament, provided tours of cutting-edge research facilities such as the National Research Council, Breakfast Club, Math & Science Club, and helped organizing other community events.
Each year, LTS volunteers take part in the CEDAR Summer Camp for Aboriginal Youth entering grades 4, 5, and 6. CEDAR summer camps are running annually in July and August, and we provide some cool hands-on science activities. Check it out at:
