WELCOME TO BURNABY

BURNABY AT A GLANCE

Burnaby is located between the cities of Vancouver and New Westminster and has witnessed a dramatic transformation over the past 30 years. From rural outpost to sleepy suburb of Vancouver, Burnaby now stands alone as a self-sufficient, growing metropolitan area with varied attractions, no matter the season. With an abundance of shopping, restaurants and local attractions there is always something to do. Those looking for a sampling of 

Burnaby's culture will be sure to visit the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, home to a variety of special events, theatre productions and concerts throughout the year. Cosmopolitan Burnaby is still able to retain its quiet roots with Burnaby Mountain Park and the surrounding hills and lakes offering both tranquility and recreation. 

While enjoying the area make sure to picnic at the Burnaby Lake Regional Nature Park or take a ride on the circa 1912 carousel found at Deer Lake Park. Visit the travel guides for the Fraser Valley and Whistler areas for information about other visitor destinations near Burnaby.

Burnaby Facts

Burnaby's population has grown to over 220,000. Its economic base is service, commercial and industrial activities. Community, business and personal service industries account for about 27 percent of the employment in Burnaby. In 1992, Burnaby celebrated its 100th anniversary and officially changed from the Corporation of the District of Burnaby to the City of Burnaby. This reflects Burnaby's growing role as an urban centre.

Recreational facilities and The Arts in Burnaby, British Columbia Canada are second to none. There's theatre, (Michael J. Fox Theatre), Swangard Stadium, home of the Vancouver 86'ers, the Labatts 24 Hour Relay, and the Harry Jerome Track Meet. There are also plenty of beautiful, public parks located from Barnet Marine Park in the east to Central Park in the west. Golf is also a favourite pastime. Commuting by car around the Burnaby area will take between 10-20 minutes depending upon your destination and the time of day.

Skytrain is a better alternative as two lines travel through burnaby: The Expo line travels on the Kingsway corridor from downtown Vancouver to Surrey. The Millenium line travels from the Commercial Drive station (next to Broadway Station) along the Lougheed corridor out to New Westminster before looping back towards Vancouver.
