10 Year Anniversary
Get ready to celebrate UBCO!
For 10 years B.A.R.K. has been dedicated to exploring the role of therapy dogs in fostering well-being on campus and in the community. To celebrate hitting this milestone achievement there will be events and activities happening throughout September 2022.
We also want to take the time to thank all of those who have made this program possible, from our student visitors and volunteers to our handlers – and especially our dogs!
