I'm 99.9% sure none of the people protesting that had ever been to Burnaby Foreshore Park.
They just disliked the idea of Burnaby removing any parkland.

Man, that whole debacle was such a joke. The Foreshore Park next to the river is GREAT and often busy, but the bushy forest to the east, where they were planning to build it, is desolate with no special value to it. People made it sound like it is some holy bird sanctuary, but there is nothing special about it vs. any other tiny forest in the Metro. They were also going to remove only a tiny bit of it.
Now the facility will get built somewhere near residential, guaranteed.
