SFU’S CAMPUS NEWSPAPER SINCE 1965

The Peak is a weekly newspaper created by students, for students published every Monday at Burnaby, Surrey, Harbour Centre, Woodward’s, and the Segal School of Business.

All SFU students can contribute to the paper or run for the various positions we have at the paper. We run on the energy of our editorial board and our student contributors — who, by the way, get paid. Learn how to write a compelling story, capture the right moments on camera, interview people you would never otherwise be able to meet, and become a part of a tight community on campus — join The Peak and make it your own.

The Peak is published by the Peak Publications Society.

We acknowledge that The Peak and the locations most of us are joining from are on the Unceded Coast Salish Territories of the Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwitlem),qʼʷa:n̓ƛʼən̓ (Kwantlen), Katzie, and Semiahmoo Peoples. Unceded means that this land was never surrendered, relinquished, or handed over in any way. We recognize that the unceded land that we occupy includes not only the SFU Burnaby campus, but extends to the land occupied by the Vancouver and Surrey campuses and beyond.

We seek to support the different strategies that Indigenous peoples are using to protect their land and their communities, and we commit to dedicating time and resources to working in solidarity and platforming their voices. Today, most of what we refer to as “British Columbia” remains unceded sovereign Native lands, over which neither the Canadian or BC government have the legal or moral authority to govern.
