The Civic Innovation Lab officially launched last Thursday — a partnership between the City of Burnaby and Simon Fraser University to research and develop solutions to civic issues and challenges.
The lab will also research improving the water quality of Deer Lake, aiming to make it swimmable again and explore hydrogen power to provide energy for civic facilities. “SFU is home to many researchers who are passionate about making a difference and whose work is directly relevant to the cities we live in,” said SFU President Joy Johnson.
