Welcome to Thrive! 2026
Kick off the semester, meet new people, and experience the best of campus life! Thrive! is your chance to explore everything the BCITSA has to offer, get involved, and take a well-deserved break with friends.
What to Expect at Thrive!
BCITSA Services Showcase: We have a lot to offer, and we invite you to be a part of it. Explore all BCITSA services in one place. From career services and advocacy to Link Magazine, Health & Dental, and more, this is your chance to ask questions and find the tools you need for a successful semester.
Fun Fest: Ready to celebrate the new year? Stop by to tackle the inflatable games, meet incredible animals at the big reptile petting zoo, or challenge new friends to classic lawn games.
Clubs Day & Frosh Night: Get connected, discover student-run organizations, and expand your campus community through our other signature welcome events.
The Thrive! Passport: Pick up your official passport and collect stamps by attending our four main events: the Service Showcase, Clubs Day, Fun Fest, and Frosh Night. Each stamp acts as an entry into our grand raffle draws—including a chance to win a $100 Amazon gift card! (Official rules apply and will be posted at the passport station).
