ACSA regularly offers students a number of means to pursue their sporting interests. Students can participate in community sports by joining ACSA members within local intramural leagues, planned sporting events at local gyms (for example, basketball, badminton, soccer, bowling, billiards, and yoga), as well as many excursions into Vancouver’s exciting outdoors in sports such as hiking, skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing.

Other sport-related activities include attending local games and matches, including hockey, football, and soccer games – something that is a regular and dynamic part of living in Canada.

Activities & Experiences

Life in Canada is full of celebration and things to do. On campus, ACSA offers numerous cultural celebrations and parties. Hence, providing students with the opportunity to experience Canadian culture, and share and celebrate their own cultural heritages with staff, faculty and their fellow students.

As new interests emerge from our student body, ACSA responds with new programs and activities. Off campus, ACSA regularly organizes excursions for skiing or snowboarding at Whistler, hiking in the mountains, visiting cultural landmarks and museums, exploring local restaurants and clubs, and participating in sporting events.
