VANCOUVER  EVENT DETAILS

A HUGE Thank You to the Chasers who took part in the October 8th Campus Chase Powered By BlackBerry Curve!!

On October 8th, 2009 we had the pleasure of hosting the first ever Campus Chase at the beautiful Campus of UBC. To top it off, we were lucky enough to have the energy and enthusiasm of over 250 outstanding Chasers and 100 staff join us.

Over the course of 4 hours of adventure Chasers tackled 18 ChasePoint challenges including a test of their fear of heights at the UBC high ropes course, paddling in the cold ocean waters off Jericho Beach, Battling it out on the BBall court with the Thunderbirds, training with the UBC Fire Department, and much more.

A huge thank you to all of the local partners who help to bring these adventures to life:

* UBC Recreation
* The PIT Pub
* City of Vancouver
* Urban Recreation
* Subway
* Molson Canada
* The Peak
* Canadian Blood Services

The bar has certainly set high.
But ... We can`t wait to blow you away in 2010!!!

Stay tuned for more information as the 2010 season approaches.
