University Neighbourhoods Association The purpose of the UNA is set out in its constitution and by-laws. The agreement is amended as needed, most recently in 2015.

The University Neighbourhoods Association (UNA) delivers municipal-like services to residents living in neighbourhoods in the University of British Columbia (UBC) Point Grey Campus. The University Neighbourhoods Association (UNA) was incorporated as a not-for-profit society in 2002 to provide the residents of UBC’s residential neighbourhoods with services that encourage a sustainable community life at UBC. The UNA oversees the major residential neighbourhoods around UBC’s campus: Wesbrook Village, Hampton Place, Chancellor Place, Hawthorn Place, East Campus, and the newly developed Central District. It manages infrastructure such as street and sidewalk repairs, and regulates matters of concern in the public realm such as parking and noise. The areas of responsibility are set out in greater detail in the Neighbourhood Agreement with UBC. The schedules to the agreement are in development. Residents opinions, views and concerns are heard through the UNA who works with external stakeholders to shape future development of residential areas at UBC.

Celebrating 25 years of neighbours coming together, building connections, and shaping our community.

Established in 2001, the UNA has grown alongside the community it serves. What began as a new model for delivering municipal-like services and representing residents at UBC has evolved over the past quarter century as the University Neighbourhoods have grown and changed.

To mark this milestone, we’ve created a special 25th Anniversary video and webpage that look back at the UNA’s history, the evolution of the Neighbours Agreement, and the programs and initiatives that have become part of everyday life in the University Neighbourhoods.

Most importantly, this anniversary celebrates the people who have shaped the UNA over the past 25 years: residents, volunteers, Board members, staff and community partners.

We also want to hear from you. If you have photos, stories or memories of UNA programs, events, services or community life over the years, send them to [email protected] and help us tell our shared story.

Visit myuna.ca/25 to explore 25 years of the UNA.
