We showcased the world’s very first wood leather soccer ball at the Osaka Expo. Developed by a team at UBC, wood leather is a BC innovation. While this prototype won’t be used in any FIFA matches soon, it represents BC’s creativity and leadership in a sustainable economy.

Education was incredibly important to John Horgan. It set him on the path to becoming one of BC’s great Premiers. It is so fitting that Royal Roads University’s new campus will be named after John from Langford.
