Past Champions
Great Trek Presented by BlueShore Financial
The Great Trek Festival pays tribute to this original Great Trek. The University of British Columbia at Fairview was founded in 1915 and grew rapidly in its first seven years. Building was minimal at UBC and the Government had ceased the building of the area of Point Grey. Despite a great feeling of hope surrounding the creation of this new institution, the quick expansion made obvious the necessity for more adequate facilities at UBC.
