Nature
Burnaby Mountain is a low but prominent forested upland in Burnaby, British Columbia, rising above Burrard Inlet and serving as both an urban centre and protected green space. Its summit and slopes include Simon Fraser University’s Burnaby campus, Discovery Park, BC Hydro’s system control tower, and the planned community of UniverCity. In 1995, three hundred thirty hectares of university land were transferred for addition to the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area, reinforcing this dual role. Centennial Park is a popular lookout toward Vancouver and the coast, known for winter snow and local tobogganing. The mountain also supports recreation, cultural features, and wildlife despite continuing development and forest loss.
