Bugsy
This probably isn't the ideal time to come but I may spend a semester there in few years time as part of my degree and that's the time I would be going. I'd be going to Simon Fraser if anyone has anything to say about the uni, too :)
Answer
'Worst time to come' would actually be a Jan-Mar duration; that's when the coldness of winter turn into long bleak days - the Christmas and New Years buzz worn off and spring/summer not even on the horizon yet. If the Lower Mainland is going to get snow it's usually from Jan-Mar; rarely do we get a white Christmas so you'd be avoiding the 'worst' weather.
During your time here best forecast sadly however his mostly cloudy or rain but the silver lining we still get brilliantly sunny warn autumn and winter days on occasion. You'll get to see the Pacific Rainforest climatic zone at work too, the seasons autumn [and spring] monsoons complete with heavy wind, rain, thunder, lightning... the festive blackouts also due to trees being blown over onto power lines.
It's still shorts and t-shirt weather til end of Sept, then the days start getting a slight chill in october; long pants and light jacket, doesn't start getting to freezing november but that's just overnight [can still be very warm the next day]... constant freezing temps starting in december and from then on into the new year.
(starting in march it gets good again, can do spring skiing in the mountains, and tan at a warm beach - for the hardier types all in the same hour wearing the same pair of shorts lol)
Luckily if you're the hardy westcoast outdoorsy type like so many out here, rain or slight chills doesn't in the slightest way effect the cycling, hiking, walking the seawall - just means fewer families, dog walkers and tourists so less crowded, that's a plus.
Vancouver lights-up per-Christmas and gets real pretty; if it rains badly just go underground to say Pacific Centre Mall, go to a Polar Bear Swim and participate in the insanity or just watch them as I do LOL. Clubs are still open, Stanley Park is still open, if you're into snow sports you really score [skating, skiing and boarding huge out here].
SFU is an awesome University fyi, you never hear about it on the news [so that means the campus is a very safe place to be, but still use city-smarts and exercise personal safety!]... an old girlfriend went there for Psychology, she always had good things to say.
Easily accessable by bus routes also; the bus that goes to SFU makes stops at all major transfer points so you can get to and from from most parts of Vancouver or suburbs easily.
Hope you enjoy it!

Were you ever active against the dog-related issues where you live?
Q. Have you ever reported anyone to the police, have you ever worked in a shelter, etc.
I was a volunteer in the local shelter until a few years ago.

Answer
well i am currently lobbying the city where i live for more dog off leash areas ... i live in downtown vancouver which is more densely populated than manhatten and there are only three off leash areas, and one is for small dogs only ... and then the city went and spent 300 000 dollars to paint bike lanes ... i personally pay the city 50 dollars a year for a dog license and cyclists pay nothing but because it seems "environmentally friendly" the city pays that kind of money for these "lanes" ... which ticks me off ... and i have to say i have nothing against bike lanes ... i am 42, have never driven a car, and have only used a bike or public transit to get around ... but the reality is painting some lines on busy streets is NOT going to get people out of their cars ... google burrard and davie street view and see if you would cycle in that traffic ... another lane they painted, cars just ignore it and constantly i see cyclists almost get hit ... so for me the money spent on bike lanes (15% of vancouver population has bikes compared to almost 30 percent that have licensed dogs and no money is spent on dogs) is more for "environmental" show than anything else ... just like all the "parks" built right before the olympics so tourists would see vancouver as green ... NOT ... every time i suggest a location to the parks board, i get oh a condo is being built there, or a gas station is being built there ... approximately a block from my house one of these fake "olympic" parks was built, and just yesterday i saw the billboard that a huge highrise is to be built in that spot ...
