Sarah's School and the Coquitlam Crunch

Class sizes are being finalised at Sarah's new school. Students are assigned to teams, the classmates they'll be spending most of their time with, and the teams are colour-coded. This week we were informed that the teams would be posted on windows at the front of the school, so today I walked Sarah to school so we could find her team.

Here's Sarah entering her new school grounds.

She's Yellow, by the way.

We parted ways on the way back. I wanted to hike the Coquitlam Crunch: a 5 km trail underneath BC Hydro power lines, a strip of greenspace running north-south from a substation in the hills down to the Fraser River. This part of the trail, right next to Sarah's school, is 2.5 km from the upper end, and this is where many people start.

From the top, I had a nice view of the Fraser Valley to the southeast.

And to the southwest, Port Moody and Burnaby. Here are some Port Moody condo towers.

And this panorama shows the same condo towers on the left, the towers of Metrotown in the centre, and Burnaby Mountain and Simon Fraser University on the right.
