I've volunteered at this food bank several times; THUS i am eligible to pass judgment on it. Yes, I…read moreknow the food bank does a good deed by giving food to those who are less fortunate - but still. 1. It's dirty. (one of my volunteer shifts was spent cleaning to storage room - ew - 8 hours later, it was still not clean PLUS i'm pretty sure I saw a mouse or 2...) 2. The crowd is sketchy (I feel like I'm gonna get mugged by the people that come to collect food - half of them are drug addicts and quite unstable) I could go on, but then I would just feel mean.

Burns Bog is such an important piece of land, do yourself a favour and visit it at least once…read more There is such an incredible amount of history wrapped in the area and the biodiversity is something that you won't find anywhere else. Parking is at the back of Plant Ice and there's another trail system that hooks onto the bog trail. Each season offers something a little different and the land is always changing. The Burns Bog Society has recently added a new boardwalk addition which is a nice touch. All in all you'll find about 3km of boardwalk winding through the bog with information placards explaining the history and stories of the area. It's super accessible and wide enough to take a stroller or wheelchair through. There's chicken wire on the path but it can still be a bit slick depending on how damp out it is. Go. Everyone should go at least once.

The library itself, is quite beautiful inside with lots of natural light pouring into the unique architecture. Just had to walk around a while to enjoy the picturesque building.

I live in downtown Vancouver and use this Library often because it often has books which I can't…read morefind in Vancouver. Love the interior design and spacious lay out. The main complaints I have are two. First I was stopped by an Indian Security and he asked if I had a mask. I was wearing a face covering and he said it was UNAPPROVED. Approved by whom? By what? I don't like this blue masks which are laced with carcinogenic ingredients and my own cloth material covering is clean and I don't want to breathe in anything that is harmful. He insisted I used the mask he gave me. Nothing but playing power trip. NOT IMPRESSED. I got an email notification about a video to pick up but when I showed up it was no where be found on the shelf under the initial of my last name. While I did get help from one of the counter staff and I told her perhaps someone just took the video and watched it inside the Library etc. This happens a lot in Vancouver Main Library as well. No, she offered to cancel my video and then put me back on ordering. But she did not place me on the next in the queue but back at the end of the waiting list. I waited weeks for this title now have to wait again. Poor management. Trust me IF I can find the same item in downtown I wouldn't bother to have to take 2 buses to Surrey!
