Update: April 23, 2020

Locker and common room thefts at Burnaby have continued to increase over the past few weeks.

We are asking students to please remove your items from your locker if safe to do so. Remember to continue to adhere to social distancing guidelines on campus.

If your locker is located in the MBC, please note that the building will be open during the following hours:

Monday to Friday: 8:00am – 6:00pm

The SFSS does not assume responsibility for any missing items, nor are we able to provide reimbursements for stolen items.

We are currently working with Campus Safety & Security to ensure we are taking the best precautions for students at this time. As we monitor the situation, our website will be updated with any changes in the recommendations.


Due to increased incidents and concerns over locker and common room thefts at Burnaby campus during this isolation period, we would like to remind you to secure your valuables and take the appropriate steps to verify missing items.

If it is safe for you to do so, we recommend removing valuable items from your locker. If you choose to enter campus spaces, please adhere to social distancing guidelines (ex. limit close contact with others, on transit and on campus). We should keep about two meters from one another when we can when outside our homes.

If your locker is located in the MBC, please note that starting Friday, April 3, 2020 the MBC will be closed the following times:

Monday to Friday: 6.00pm – 8.00am (the following morning)
Saturday to Sunday: All day closure (beginning on Friday at 6.00pm and reopening Monday at 8.00am).

Locker owners are welcome to contact security (at 778-782-7991) to verify the items missing. If any items of value were taken or personal information is at risk they should be encouraged to file a RCMP report at 604-646-9999 and ask for the reporting desk. 

Additionally, the SFSS is postponing locker turnovers, which is usually executed in May. The turnovers are on hold at both Burnaby and Surrey campuses until further notice.

Please feel free to contact us at studentcentre@sfss.ca with any general questions you may have.
