Thrive by the Fire
Connect with community, take some time to unwind, and learn about, talk about, and explore ways to support mental health year-round
To celebrate the start of Thrive month, we are pleased to bring you Thrive by the Fire, a cozy concert outdoors.
Join us for a one-day pop-up event that transforms Money and Raymond MC Lee Square into a supportive space for connection, community, and arts and culture. Gather ‘round the fire at toasty tables, and take in some chill tunes from Blank Vinyl Project, featuring UBC’s own student musicians, check out the Thrive resource fair, full of on-campus supports. Make sure you come with the title of your go-tune tune that helps you Thrive, and add it to our community playlist!
Everyone is welcome at this FREE drop-in style event:
- Wednesday, November 5, 2025
- 11:00am to 2:00pm
- Money and Raymond M.C. Lee Square, outside by the UBC Bookstore
- Limited toasty table seating available on a first-come-first-served basis

Event takes place outdoors and will run rain or shine (tenting available in the event of rain)

We’re thrilled to announce this year’s talented line-up of student performers from Blank Vinyl Project, UBC’s student run live music club:
Apolline de Schaetzen | @applessings
Singer-songwriter Apolline de Schaetzen grew up a theatre girl until one day she decided that music was what she loved most. She learned guitar and piano to accompany her voice and allow her to write. Wearing her heart on her sleeve, showcasing jazz, indie, and pop fusion, Apolline tells her vulnerable stories in the hopes that maybe someone listening might relate.
Shane Garner | @shanegarner_
“Folk musician from Vancouver”
Sophie Rolfsen | @soph.rolf
Sophie enjoys singing soul, jazz, R&B, or anything with some sweet melodic tunes!
Zoë Clementine | @zoegelleralford
