This center serves as a venue for both performance and teaching in the arts.

This is a lovely open, airy building that makes a perfect coffee stop if you’ve been walking around Deer Lake Park, visiting the Burnaby Art Gallery (a very short walk to the centre) or going to the Burnaby Village Museum (across the street). There’s a nice little coffee bar just inside the entrance that serves drinks, baked items and sandwiches at very reasonable prices. Tables and chairs are adjacent, or you can head to the other end of the building where there’s a seating area overlooking the park. Much of the art in the central portion is by Jack Shadbolt, a painter who spent the latter part of his life in Burnaby. Other areas of the building have rotating exhibitions. There are two theatres in the centre, but it seems to be primarily a teaching facility, with studios for dance, music and art. Lucky Burnaby! Wish there was something similar where I live.

I found that during my visit to SFU for a conference this week, my eyes were always being drawn upward. The view from pretty much anywhere on campus looking outward is amazing and world class; overlooking the city, seeing the mountains, seeing the river; top notch. The buildings on campus are intriguing, as others have noted, and seem to come alive at night time; the lights and sky make the greyness of the concrete take a back seat to the design and statement of the buildings. I found myself always looking up at the flow of buildings and the roof over the Convocation Mall and the sky and the trees and the Academic Quadrangle and so on... Some quirks; if you don't know where you're going on campus, find a map or ask someone - you can walk for hours here (in a very pleasant setting). I was at a conference, and the SFU Food Service team did an amazing job of serving 600+ people a warm meal at pretty much the same time! Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were tasty and enjoyable. AV Support staff also went out of the way to ensure each presenter in each room had no issues. Kudos to all! Currently (Spring/Summer 2018) there are a number of renovation and new-build projects going on. Very interesting place to visit; wish I'd had time for more wandering around!

Forest Lawn Funeral Home and Forest Lawn Memorial Park are located in Burnaby. The sister locations—a funeral home with an on-site crematorium and cemetery—make planning a funeral, cremation and burial convenient.

Had occasion to visit here; took some time to stop, look around, and meditate. Grounds well mowed, and leaves raked. Driveways clear of litter. Parking spaces well marked, windows on buildings all clean. Walk a few paces, it is so quiet it is like having the whole world to yourself.
