Some students who arrived at SFU’s Burnaby campus were alarmed last week to find the iconic koi pond drained of water and devoid of its fishy friends. The koi pond is a landmark of SFU Burnaby, and is the site of the Engineering Undergraduate Student Society’s annual polar plunge as well as other SFU events. Students can rest easy, however, as the draining and cleaning of the AQ Reflecting Pond is an annual service performed by facilities services in preparation for spring convocation. Wendy House, office coordinator for facilities services, reassured The Peak, saying, “We coordinate the removal and safe keeping of the fish with personnel from Alcan – Animal Care. The fish are returned to the pond once refilling is complete and water testing ensures a suitable environment.”
Something wicked came to SFU Convocation Mall the weekend of October 16–18, and that something was Metro-Con. The annual pop-culture convention “hosts celebrities and influential people in film, books, animation, entertainment, and more,” according to the Metro-Con website.
The convention featured many attractions and events, with daily opportunities for fans to meet celebrity guests and listen to panelists speak. On Friday, a Stars of Cosplay event brought five BC-based cosplayers to the main stage, including Dragonmight, a cosplayer who advocates for “mental health and suicide prevention awareness,” according to their Instagram. In the evening, an after-hours kickoff party took place, one of two Metro-Con After Dark events that weekend.
On Saturday at 5:30 p.m., the cosplay contest ensued at the main stage, the Diamond Family Auditorium....
