 A record 193 UBC Thunderbird student-athletes were recognized Thursday morning at the annual All-Canadian Breakfast.

Held virtually for the first time, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this remarkable group of honourees came together online to celebrate their achievements, while also joined by faculty representatives, coaches, staff, and alumni.

UBC President & Vice-Chancellor, Professor Santa J. Ono, also addressed these outstanding student-athletes who serve as true role models for their successes in the classroom and their respective sport.
