Mar 27th Walking Group

Five people went on the walk, (Marilyn, Ken, Linda Susan & Giyoung a friend of Susan).
We went to UBC. We walked past the aquatic centre, gym and went to the shopping centre and had a snack and coffee at McDonald. We walked through Regent College and saw beautiful Magnolia trees. We walked down University Blvd. to Main Mall Blvd past the UBC libraryand discovered UBC has a Tim Horton and White Spot near the library. We walked to end of main mall to see beautiful scenic view of Howe Sound and Mountains overlooking a rose garden and the Chan Centre theatre. We walked back on West mall blvd and saw the Irving Barber Centre which part of it. It was built in 1923 after the great trek of UBC students in 1922 to demonstrate buildings (3 not built yet).
The Irving K. Barber Learning Centre (IKBLC) is a facility at the Vancouver campus of the University of British Columbia. The Learning Centre is built around the refurbished core of the 1925 UBC Main Library[1][2]. The Centre is named for Irving. K. Barber, philanthropist and a graduate of UBC.
There is a monument of Great trek in front of ubc library. It was a great walk and there is other areas to walk to at UBC.
