SFU takes win for best post-secondary education Since opening its doors on Burnaby Mountain in 1965, Simon Fraser University has become Canada’s leading comprehensive university (according to the Maclean’s magazine annual university rankings). SFU attracts 37,000 students each year, has more than 170,000 alumni, and employs approximately 7,500 faculty and staff.

By engaging and working with its communities, SFU strives to generate real change and improve society. In addition to Burnaby campus, campuses inVancouver and Surrey have strengthened community ties across the Lower Mainland, as well as advanced research and innovation, attracting collaborators worldwide.

SFU students graduate from eight faculties in science, business, education, environment, health sciences, applied sciences, arts and social sciences, and communication, art and technology.

The university ranks seventh among the world’s top universities for entrepreneurial spirit (World’s Universities with Real Impact 2020).

More than 8,500 students put their skills into practice in their chosen industry during cooperative education work terms each year, while many others learn to become innovators through entrepreneurial programs such as Technology Entrepreneurship@SFU and Coast Capital SavingsVenture Connection. Faculty and student innovators can also accelerate new ventures by joining SFUVentureLabs.

SFU’s environmental commitment can be seen through its five-year university-wide sustainability plan, as well as the recent launch of schools in sustainable energy engineering and environmental science.Times Higher Education ranks SFU first in the world (2020) for its impact on sustainable cit-

ies and communities.

As a recognized leader in advancing new technologies, SFU researchers are developing health tech and big data solutions for everything from improving how we age to finding new ways to combat climate change. Over the past five years the university’s research income has grown by more than $55 million, and a new Quantum Algorithms Institute at the Surrey campus will bring quantum computing to fruition.

SFU’s current president, Joy Johnson, began her term in September 2020 in the midst of the pandemic.While safety and planning around COVID-19 remains a top priority, Johnson is committed to Indigenization and improving equity, diversity and inclusion across the university. Planning is underway for a First Peoples Gathering House on the Burnaby campus that will serve as a ceremonial space and

cultural hub. And a new scholarship program to support equity-deserving students will launch in September, thanks to a $34-million gift from SFU alumnus Lance Uggla and his family.

As the university continues to grow, SFU’s Burnaby campus continues to evolve. A new arts and cultural facility will help to

grow SFU’s art collection and serve as a teaching museum while offering exhibitions and community outreach. Students will soon have access to a new Student Union Building, while SFU’s athletic teams, which are the only Canadian post-secondary teams to compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association

(NCAA), will benefit from a new $18-million outdoor sports stadium this year.

New residences will open on the Burnaby campus this summer, with a second phase of residences under construction that will be move-in ready in 2023.

TransLink is also continuing consultation for a gondola up the mountain.

Hart House earns top honours for best wine list Hart House is honoured to be chosen by Burnaby NOW readers as the restaurant with the best wine list.

We believe that our popularity in the category reflects the importance we place on top-quality wine as one component of an outstanding dining experience.

The goal of Hart House’s wine program is to offer wines that complement Chef Mike Genest’s Mediterranean-style cuisine, thus adding to guests’ enjoyment of their visit to our Burnaby restaurant.

Given the flavour palette of the menu, it’s not surprising that wines from Italy, Spain, and France are favourites on the Hart House list.

We do, however, have a longstanding commitment to featuring fresh local ingredients in our cuisine, and this enthusiasm for homegrown options carries over to the cellar, where there’s a strong British Columbia pres-

ence, particularly from smaller producers.

Hart House is proud to support Dine Out Vancouver and has, over the years, hosted many B.C. wine dinners.

In a nod to West Coast influences, the wine list also includes a California cabernet or two. Overall, selections strike a balance between Old World and New. Our goal is to please all our guests, and for that reason we offer a selection of excellent-quality bottles (and wines by the glass) at a range of price points.

Wines on our list pair well with most dishes on our menu, and guests who are uncertain of what to choose are welcome to use the suggestions on the menu as a guide.

Our Mediterranean seafood stew, for example, features assorted local seafood, fennel, chickpeas, swiss chard, cherry tomatoes, and grilled focaccia; the suggested pairing is chardonnay from Okana-

Perfect pairings: Hart House is renowned for its commitment to fresh, local cuisine, and it’s making sure to offer wines that pair with each of its menu options. The restaurant at Deer Lake has earned NOW readers’ honours for best wine list.

gan Falls’ Blue Mountain Vineyard and Cellars.

In the case of our grilled dry aged Blue Goose rib eye, we recommend First

Press cabernet sauvignon from Napa Valley, California, as an ideal pairing for oxtail and potato empanada, confit peppers, cip-

polini, romesco and red wine jus.

In both cases, we hope the wines will enhance the flavours of the food in a

way that help ensure your visit to our restaurant is an enjoyable and memorable experience.

It’s Jagmeet Singh for the win as Burnaby’s favourite politician Federal New Democrat Leader Jagmeet Singh has been named best politician in the NOW’s annual Best Of awards.

Singh hasn’t been a politician in Burnaby for that long, but he has gained fans after moving here to run in the Burnaby South byelection and then the 2019 federal election.

The Burnaby MP is a lawyer and an avid cyclist.

He’s also a published author with the publication of his book, Love & Courage: My Story of Family, Resilience, and Overcoming the Unexpected, which came out in spring 2019.

The title comes from a viral moment during Singh’s campaign for NDP leader, in which Singh responded to a heckler by saying Canadians must respond to hate with “love and courage.”

“This book is the story of my family and my personal experiences growing up – sometimes difficult ones. I often felt alone, unworthy, ashamed,” Singh said.

An education should help young people get ahead, not leave them further behind.

“I hope this book helps some people feel less alone and know that they deserve love and happiness, no matter what they’ve gone through.”

Much of Singh’s popu-

larity lies with young people, a demographic he tried to appeal to in March by pledging that an NDP government would cancel up to $20,000 in tuition.

Singh announced he would also freeze federal student loan payments until the COVID-19 pandemic winds down and eliminate interest on student debt if elected.

“Young people are making student loan payments the size of mortgage payments — spending years under crushing debt, not able to get ahead. And the COVID-19 pandemic only made matters worse,” he said at the party’s virtual youth convention. “An education should help young people get ahead, not leave them further behind.”

Winning ways: NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh brought doughnuts to volunteers at his Burnaby campaign office in 2019 (above) and him visiting a Burnaby event (at left).

Singh earned best politician honours from NOW readers.

Peaked Pies is your favourite new restaurant When a Peaked Pies customer gets up to the front to order a pie, coowner Kerri Jones asks them the same simple question. “Do you want that peaked?” Getting it “peaked” means having mashed potato, mushy green peas and gravy heaped on.

People will be standing in line and see it get ‘peaked’ and they’re like, ‘yes, please.’

“People will be standing in line and see it get ‘peaked’ and they’re like, ‘yes, please,’” Jones says with a laugh.

A lot of Burnaby residents got their pies peaked as Peaked Pies Australian Bakery Café at 4114 Hast-

ings St. in the Heights neighbourhood was named best new restaurant in our Best Of Burnaby competition.

The new business has about a dozen different pies to choose from, including the traditional Aussie version, beef curry, vegetable, lentil, steak, butter chicken and the “hopper” made from ground kangaroo.Then you just say “yes” to the peaked and away you go.

Peaked Pies also offers breakfast versions, plus an array of freshly baked desserts and coffees. According to the company, the crust for the pie is made from grass-fed butter and the gravy also comes in a vegetarian option.

Peaked Pies started about seven years ago with a location in Whistler before adding one in Vancouver’s West End. The Burnaby Heights location was supposed to open earlier than it did in 2020, but then the COVID-19 pandemic de-

layed things.

When the pandemic hit, it was a stressful time for Jones and co-owner Alex Relf.They had to renovate

and open a space when you have to limit the contractors doing the work to a different one each day.

Then there was the

months of waiting for B.C. to reopen restaurants last summer, all while your costs mounts without revenue coming in.

But once it did open, Peaked Pies has done a bustling business and is here to stay.

Dixon Transition Society tops in community service Serving the community since 1973, Dixon Transition Society helps to reduce the impact of domestic violence by providing a safe haven for women and children.

We are proud to have been named best community service organization in the Best Of Burnaby project.

Our transitional housing programs, counselling and

outreach services form a continuum of care to help women and children live a thriving life free from violence. Our work is essential year-round and is critical now more than ever in times of economic uncertainty, anxiety caused by quarantine, and support services operating at a reduced capacity.

The effects of the pandemic are being observed

industry-wide at various human and social service organizations.These effects were observed by Dixon as well; between April and September of 2020, Dixon received 1,042 calls for space at our transition house and second-stage housing, of which 982 (94%) women and their children that were in desperate need of our services had to be turned away due to a lack of space and resources.

Although the pandemic has caused a rapid increase in demand for our services, Dixon is grateful to all our sponsors, donors, board members, staff and supporters who are working tirelessly to help women through the most difficult times of their lives.

“I want to thank all of you for the valuable contributions that you make both individually and collectively to address the issue of violence against women in our community.Without your consis-

Our approach to supporting women and children impacted by domestic violence is based on

feminist ideology.We are committed to increasing awareness about the impact of violence against women and children, as well as educating our community on these issues.

Our role in the community is to provide support and advocacy to women and children fleeing abuse.

We believe that ad-
