Join us on Zoom on Thursday, October 27th at 7:30 p.m. to discuss what living, eating, studying, praying, and serving together could look like at our upcoming student residence at UBC: Menno Hall. We want to collaborate on generating and refining ideas for aspects of the intentional community that we’ll create for a student body of over 100 people. This is an invitation for our supporters, alumni, and anyone else who is interested to help us clarify our vision for what student life will look like in our new building.

Register for the Zoom event at pcda.bc.ca/worldcafe to receive the connection information by e-mail.

Please be advised that the PCDA no longer owns the property at 4000 West 11th Avenue. If you have questions on that topic, please use our Contact form.

Menno Hall will be a vibrant, distinct and connected community that will build on history, support change, and provide a positive new addition to the UEL. Visit the new website at www.mennohall.com. If you want to see Menno Hall become reality, please let the UEL Manager know at PlanUEL@gov.bc.ca before the submission deadline of 4:00 p.m. on Wed. June 15. Be sure to include your name and mailing address when you express your support for our rezoning application.
