About BLaH

Business Leisure and Health

Business Leisure and Health is an SFSS (Simon Fraser Student Society) registered student organization that serves the SFU student population by promoting active, healthy and sustainable lifestyles. Founded in 2008, it is an organization that encourages SFU Business students to become aware of the opportunities available at Simon Fraser University and in British Columbia to lead a more balanced lifestyle.

BLaH fulfills its three main objectives of encouraging active, healthy and sustainable living to students by hosting a wide variety of events throughout the year. Some of these events include Biz Challenge, the 30 Day Sustainability Challenge, the Beautiful British Columbia hiking series, and several sport tournaments and events throughout the school year.

Overall, we are a student organization that wants to meet people, build community, do healthy activities, and have some fun while at it!

How can I get involved?

BLaH meets in a variety of formats, including casual events, small teams tournaments, drop in sports, project working groups, and formalized club meetings. To find out when and where we meet, visit our events page or check out our calendar. You can also contact us for more information.

History of BLaH

Students are becoming increasingly more “well-rounded”, interdisciplinary, and in dire need of something fun. We students, also needed something a bit more holistic to represent us.

With this in mind, a group of 4 like minded individuals (with influence from many students) got together and started to hash out the details of starting a new kind of business club.

A club that:
1. is more than just niche or concentration specific
2. encourages dual / joint degrees and multiple concentrations
3. caters to the type of student that enjoys the outdoors
4. leads / promotes an active and healthy lifestyle
5. informs and educates others about sustainable living
6. aims to do more than just get you hired
7. makes you part of a team to gain skills and experience
8. fosters campus community

BLaH was created to be just that, a different kind of club.
