We are not just Developing Athletes, We are Building Citizens
Stay Apart But Stay Connected
Our Universal Family is united, even though the usual routines are interrupted. Every day we celebrate and appreciate the good work being done in the community by our members. Here are just a few examples:
Tarin and Leon -keeping our communities safe through policing
Chitrtaj and Hameet-working in banking, making sure our resources are available
Sabrina- continuing to support members at BC Athletics, while working from home.
Dr. Parm, Harman, Lily and Rosy- some of the amazing medical staff at local hospitals
Jessie- taking daily calls and virtual meetings as a member of the Delta School Board
Avneet- working for Surrey Park and Recreation
Emily-providing service for vulnerable women on the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver
Tell us of other club members or family caring for the community so we can share their stories.
Keep everyone safe and healthy by washing well, remaining physically apart, and connecting with others via all the social messaging we have available. Call someone you care about, just to hear their voice!
We will eventually be together again at the track, but for now be kind and help others.
