Lapu Lapu Day Tragedy – Supports for Facilities Staff
On behalf of the Facilities Leadership Team, I wish to convey the profound sense of loss that we share with all of you and the community in the wake of the devastating events at the Lapu Lapu Day Block Party on Saturday night. Please reach out to your manager or supervisor, who can confidentially connect you with these supports during your shift. The Employee and Family Assistance Program (EFAP) is also available to all UBC employees and their families.
