The University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus opened in Kelowna in 2005. The Okanagan campus is an intimate learning community embracing bold new ways of thinking that attracts exceptional students and faculty. More than 8,300 students from throughout the Okanagan region, across Canada and 80 other countries are enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs in eight faculties and schools.
No fewer than 17 Pushor Mitchell lawyers are graduates of UBC. The firm helped to establish the University’s Okanagan campus, and our lawyers are heavily involved with many UBCO boards. We sponsor the annual $10,000 Pushor Mitchell LLP Gold Medal Leadership Prize and provide a significant range of legal services to the institution.
