First Real Snow Storm of the Year on SFU Mountain

Discovery 1 Fraser International College

We received news that all classes in SFU including FIC were cancelled today because of the pending snow storm. I do not remember of any time within the last five years that all classes were cancelled on the same day in SFU. This is the first time that all classes were cancelled simultaneously because of the weather condition. The other reason for cancellation of classes must be because of the closure of the bus services going up to the Burnaby campus from Production station and else where. The road conditions were really bad and would be hazardous to unfamiliar and inexperience drivers.

I woke up early like usual in the morning and saw white covers everywhere. But did not know of the SFU main campus class cancellations until I read my emails. I guess it is a safety precautionary measure that the administration is exercising and to avoid any untoward incidents. Anyway, luckily the cancellations happened today. Today is the last day for the Fall 2016 semester. And, final exams starts tomorrow. The cancellation allows some students an additional day for revision. And, for me it makes no difference because I do not have lectures on Mondays anyway.

Snowman in FIC

International students should come out and enjoy the snow. Canadians embrace weather conditions like this one. Take a little time off from final exam preparations, relax and have some fun. Especially, for the first semester international students, they should take some time off and go enjoy their first winter snow. Go make a snowman or enjoy playing with the snow. Have fun!!! This is a rear occasion and an opportunity to embrace the Canadian spirit.

Corner Stone SFU Burnaby

In Vancouver the snow comes and disappear very quickly. In a matter of fact, the weatherman has already announced that tomorrow is going to be sunny. Therefore, all the snow on the ground may just melt away. I was on campus later in the morning and the bus services to SFU main campus has already resumed services. And, as I am constructing this article, I heard that the snow storm warning has been called off. Some classes after 2:00pm will resume at SFU but all FIC classes remained cancelled for the entire day.
