Burnaby Mountain

Burnaby Mountain, elev. 370 m (1,214 ft), is a low, forested mountain in the city of Burnaby, British Columbia, overlooking the upper arms of Burrard Inlet. It is the location of Simon Fraser University, the Discovery Park research community, and the System Control Tower of BC Hydro and a new complex of residential and commercial development called UniverCity. In November 1995, the Province of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University reached an agreement to transfer 820 acres (3.3 km2) of university land to the City of Burnaby for inclusion into Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area.
