File List Catalogue entry (UBC Library catalogue) Fonds Description Community Relations fonds. – 1944-1991. 20.46 m of textual records and other materials. Administrative History Community Relations emerged in 1985, replacing Information Services which functioned from 1965-1985. Like its predecessor, Community Relations strives to increase public understanding and support for the University. This goal is accomplished through encouraging public use of University facilities and campus attractions, promoting improved liaison between the University and the public and private sectors, and providing the media with information about UBC and its activities. Community Relations produces several publications, such as UBC Reports, in an effort to keep both the University community and the public informed about significant University events. In addition, this office provides public relations and counselling services for UBC academic and administrative units in all aspects of internal and external communications. In 1985, the Community Relations Office included the Director, the Publications Editor, and Community Relations Officers (changed to Information Officer in 1986). In late 1986, a News Bureau was established, later altering its name to Media Relations in 1991. In 1989, the UBC Speakers Bureau was transferred from the Alumni Association. Marketing was added in 1989, and re-named Promotion in 1992. In 1995, Community Relations changed its name to University Relations. Scope and Content Fonds consists of minutes, agendas, financial statements, reports, surveys, publications, news releases and transcripts relating to activities and programs of Community Relations. It also includes subject files containing information concerning UBC organizations. Fonds is organized into ten series: Office Administration, Subject Files, Media Relations, Campus Tours, Films and Scripts, Donors and Financial Aid Programmes, Congregation, Faculty and External CV's (biographical information), Central File Series, President's Report on the Health Sciences, and UBC 75th Anniversary Projects.

  • Nitobe Memorial Garden UBC Botanical Garden Vancouver, BC
    The Nitobe Memorial Garden is a unique symbiosis Nitobe Memorial Garden of Pacific Northwest Coastal forest and Japanese UBC Botanical Garden native plants and is a testament to the relationship that exists between the Canada and Japan. The Vancouver, BC, Canada Nitobe Memorial Garden is located on the campus of the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and is managed under the auspices of the UBC Botanical Garden. Garden History The garden was originally designed to commemorate Japanese educator, agriculturist, scholar, philosopher and statesman Dr. Inazō Nitobe, who was the founding director of the International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation, that later became UNESCO. Dr. Nitobe worked for World Peace and International co-operation throughout his life. He helped establish important relationships between Japan and other nations. His most famous published work is Bushido: the Soul of Japan, one of the first major works on Samurai ethics, Japanese culture, and Japanese morality. A best seller in its time, Bushido was read by Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts, and President Theodore Roosevelt, among others. Nitobe later was honored with his image on the 5,000 yen note. In 1933, on his way back from the Pacific Ocean Conference in Banff, Canada, Dr. Nitobe died in Victoria, Canada. Two years later, his friends and the Japanese community in Vancouver brought the Kasuga lantern from Japan, and created a small Japanese garden with it on UBC campus. August 2015 marked the 80th anniversary of this event. Following the Second World War, Dr. Nitobe’s friends, the Japanese community in Vancouver, and local government agreed that a permanent memorial to Nitobe and his work was needed in In 1935, friends of Dr.
