Re-register for access to the Centre for Occupational Health, Safety & Wellbeing in 2026

Posted on: December 1, 2025

We are refreshing access for the Centre for Occupational Health, Safety & Wellbeing to ensure our records accurately reflect only current registered VPFO staff usage in the Centre and programs, including fitness and yoga group classes.

As part of this update, all existing access will be removed on January 12, 2026, and only staff who have re-registered will retain entry to the Centre and group classes. Updated registration is now open.

If you have already registered and wish to continue using the facility and/or attending group classes, please re-register before January 9, 2026 to avoid any interruption.

The Centre is open to all VPFO staff.  If you are not registered, please review and submit the now updated access form.  Once the completed form is processed in 2-4 business days, you will receive an email confirming your UBC card access to the Centre has been activated.
