Dear FSA Members,
As another year comes to an end, I wish you all the best during your well-deserved break from your work at UFV. The labour that you do is essential; you keep the university running and our students safe and supported so that they can enter the classroom, lab, or shop engaged and ready to learn. Your work matters, and I hope you find time this winter break to slow down and reflect on the year that was.
For many, this is a time to celebrate and connect with family and friends, and it can also be a difficult and complex time.
If you are struggling during the university closure, please remember that you are part of a community that cares for you. Please reach out for support.

- Alcohol & Drug Information and Referral Services – 1-800-663-1441
Please enjoy your well deserved time off and I hope you find peace and happiness this winter season.
All the best for 2024,
Greg
