This week’s Peak Humour took a turn for the Serious. With serious results!

 

Burnaby Mountain Park introduces new drinking fountains.

In a crowded ribbon cutting ceremony last Saturday, the Burnaby Mountain Park Board inducted four new drinking fountains. The fountains have been under construction since mid-April, when they voted on what the park would spend its maintenance budget on.

The stainless steel water dispensers feature such innovations as an in-built refrigeration unit, a no-touch foot-operated button ,and a second dispensary nozzle ideal for refilling pet bowls and hand washing.

The newly installed fountains are stirring up a buzz amongst park visitors. Gurjeet Brar, a regular at the park, spoke with The Peak about new drinking fixtures. “These new fountains are great. I don’t know if the water is the same as the old ones, but it definitely tastes crisper. ”

 

Copy center to extend summer hours

Citing a marked increase in the demand for printing, copying and lamination, the SFU Copy Centre has announced that they will be extending their regular work hours for the remainder of the summer semester.

Copy attendant Rowena Dressler talked with The Peak about the necessity of the increased hours. “It seems like every week there’s some new event that needs new flyers, posters, and pamplets for printing and lamination. Not to mention the endless stream of students printing out notes for classes. It was just untenable to get all that work done in that amount of time. The new hours should fix that.“

The copy centre will be open from 10:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. extended from their normal 10:00 A.M. to 3:30P.M. hours. The copy centre will still be closed Fridays.
