That is the question. This summer marked the beginning of a new chapter for the Athletic Centre (AC) and Varsity Centre (VC) with the hiring of a team of Physical Activity Ambassadors. We are a group of U of T students and recent grads that are dedicated to giving you the inside scoop on everything that you've been missing at the AC and VC. So while you're here, let us get you caught up on what we've been up to over the first few months of school.

We got off to a busy start this year attending a ton of orientations to get the word out about the AC and VC. First on the list was UTSU Day where free AC and VC goodies were handed out to the mob of Frosh in attendance.
Here are some of our Ambassadors dishing out some info to curious Frosh at UTSU Day.
And Amanda is looking oh so happy. I think we were all grateful for the beautiful weather that graced us on that day.
Christian was calm cool and collected handling the packed crowd of Engineering Frosh at their club orientation event.
Once orientation season finished it was time for us to figure out some next steps. Seeing as this was a new role for all of us, we were basically starting from scratch trying to figure out the best way to get more people to use the facilities that we already know and love.
We wanted to make the AC more friendly and accessible and if you have ever been there before then you know that it can be kind of a maze. So, we figured the best way to keep people away from the minotaur in the heart of the labyrinth that is the AC was to put together some short "how to" videos dedicated to letting people know how to get around the AC.
Can't quite figure out how to find the ballers in the Field House? Looking to get your chakras realigned but can't seem to find the dance studio? Just click on one of the links on the right side of this page and we'll lead the way. These took a while to complete but we hope it was worth it.
That's all for this post but we've got a lot more in the works so make sure to stay tuned for more updates.
