A community-led yarn installation, the Woven Grove will be installed in early September 2026, infusing vibrant hues into our natural environment through yarn bombing.
We’ve saved the most important award for last — MVP. After our discussion, it was clear that nobody was more important to their team than Lucy Borowski was to Women’s Volleyball.
While the offensive-minded players may get more statistics and accolades, there’s a reason that “defence wins championships” is a cliché. Many teams across UBC varsity sport this year have succeeded because of a great defence, and no player was more vital to those efforts than Jake Lee.
When you’re leading the country in goals for two straight years and breaking records set by Hayley Wickenheiser in her prime, you’re probably doing something right. Grace Elliott is a special player, and her excellence this season was more than enough to earn our Offensive Player of the Year nod.

UBC has had plenty of promising rookies across the T-Birds’ varsity teams this year, but no first-year player made quite the same impact that Sophie Harrison did. Coming to UBC from England, Harrison immediately became a key part of the country’s best defence.
For our fourth award, we’ll be recognizing the player that made the largest jump in play from year-to-year — and for us, that was receiver Trey Montour, who came out of nowhere to produce a spectacular, star-making season.
For our third award, we’re recognizing the most impactful moment of the year — a play, an off-the-field story, a celebration — a single point in time that has resonated for months after. The easy winner here was the last-second try that clinched a championship for Women’s Rugby, in front of their home crowd, no less.
For the second award, we’re recognizing the best sporting event of the year, a single game that stood above the rest in terms of tension, excitement and stakes. In the closest vote of all our awards, Men’s Basketball’s semifinal comeback win against Winnipeg took the win here.
After watching UBC’s varsity teams throughout the year, The Ubyssey’s Sports team has come together to bestow awards on the best athletes, teams and moments of the year. Up first, Team of the Year.

A team of researchers at UBC reviewed the policy’s impact on salmon populations.
The Student Legal Fund Society (SLFS) has been in turmoil for years. Lucia Lu, Jacky Xue, Vihaan Gukta, Nathan Harris, Damarise Carcellar and Elaina Fung are all running unopposed for positions on the SLFS’s board. Without opposition, the six will be acclaimed.
You will have the opportunity to vote on four referenda during this year’s exam period: three are fee increases brought forward by the AMS and the fourth is a student-petitioned referendum which would require the AMS to write a letter demanding UBC cut ties with Israeli universities claimed to uphold apartheid. The Ubyssey endorses a yes-vote for all four referenda.
"This pseudo-austerity budget does not even have that going for it — it’s as if it were strategically assembled to annoy literally every British Columbian," writes Politics Columnist Maya Tommasi.
