3. BURNS BOG Burns Bog
Address: North Delta
Sector: Public
SPSC 2210 Connection: Recreation
A nature reserve with a boardwalk trail,
Burns Bog makes for a pleasant area to
walk and connect with nature.
Maintenance of the park is government
funded, making Burns bog part of the
public sector. There are no fees to
access the boardwalk.
As a side note, in elementary school I remember having a
field trip to the bog where we were taught about the
history of the bog and how to identify some of the plants.
I remember being particularly interested in two similar
looking plants, Labrador tea and Lambkill, which as one
might be able to infer from the names should not be
confused for one another.

5. DELVIEW
SECONDARY
Delview Secondary
Address: North Delta
Sector: Public
SPSC 2210 Connection: Physical
Education/Coaching
Delview Secondary is the high school which I
attended. At the time, the main sports teams
that I remember being were both boys and
girls basketball, as well as boys rugby and
girls volleyball. The coaches for the teams
were also teachers at the school. The teams
were called the “Raiders”, with the mascot
being a viking-style character with a horned
helmet. As a public school, Delview is funded
by the government and thus is part of the
public sector (Lunn, 2021). The school has
two gymnasiums which allow for multiple
physical education classes to be held at
once. There is also a grassy field and a
gravel field which it shares with a
neighboring elementary school, and there is
a park across the street which has a baseball
diamond which was also sometimes used in
PE classes.

The Hive

The Hive is a bouldering gym located
near the Scott Road Skytrain station.
Bouldering is a fun form of physical
activity that also requires some problem
solving, with each climbing route being
appropriately referred to as a ‘problem’.
The Hive offers both drop in and
membership pricing formats, as well as
shoe rentals, items such as chalk for
climbing, and climbing courses. Being a
for-profit company, it is part of the
private sector (Lunn, 2021).
