Woodwards
Every Thursday evening till July 23, free, drop-in “Woodward’s Community Singers Workshops” are held in the Sky Room on the 10th floor — no audition required. The community choir is open to all voices, and covers a wide range of genres, from gospel and folk to pop and contemporary. The event promises “a dose of collective joy,” and vocally-challenged or shy participants “are also welcome to come, drink a cup of tea and just listen.”

Starting June 10, the Surrey Urban Farmers Market (SUFM) returns to the Surrey City Hall Plaza, just steps away from campus. The market will run until October 7 every Wednesday from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. Aside from providing community members with fresh local produce and artisan goods, the SUFM “works with community groups to make fresh vegetables, fruit, nuts, meat and dairy available for folks who may not otherwise be able to afford it.”
Harbour Centre
On June 12, a Philosopher’s Cafe on “Love/Fear” will be held at the Vancouver campus. The conversation will revolve around the questions, “Can love and fear co-exist? Or does perfect love cast out all fear? Is there more in the world to be loved or to be feared?” and, “Is love scary?” Philosopher’s Cafes are an ongoing initiative of SFU Continuing Studies, covering a wide range of topics at locations all across Metro Vancouver.
