Burnaby Mountain Secondary School is a school that serves grades 8 to 12, in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. It is three stories tall and located at 8800 Eastlake Drive, at the intersection with Beaverbrook Drive. It is named after nearby Burnaby Mountain, which is also home to Simon Fraser University. It is served by the Production Way-University SkyTrain station.

Entertainment

The school plays itself in a fictional "Burnaby, Washington" in the 2007 film The Invisible, starring British Columbia native Justin Chatwin. The film was shot near the school cafeteria, a digitally-modified 3rd-floor classroom, in the hallways and in the gym. The school banner used in the movie was donated to Burnaby Mountain Secondary School.

World record

The school attempted to break a Guinness world record for the longest basketball game, which lasted 32 hours. It was set up by Ms. Glubbil. The game was held in 2005 then the tape was sent to United Kingdom. The record was officially recognized in March 2006, after some problems with the video of the event; the tape wasn't constant due to a need to change tapes, but has now been officially recognized.^{[citation needed]}

After recognition, the record was broken by another school in a European country that lasted 40 hours.

Awards

This school has received many awards over the years, many of them environmental, as a result of dedicated student involvement in school clubs. Some of the awards include The BC Green Games (2009) and City of Burnaby Environmental Award (2009) from the students of the Urban Farming Club.
