The graduating class of UBC Civil Engineers of 1972 recently celebrated their 50th anniversary. The event was held at the Sparkling Hill Resort in Vernon, BC. Of the class of 43 graduates, 19 classmates attended along with two special guests. A group dinner and wine tour was part of the agenda. We are planning to have another event in 2024.
