Over the coming weeks and months, as restrictions of travel begin to ease during this active pandemic, Burnaby is preparing to find the balance of welcoming visitors back to the area while keeping our communities safe. We want the summer to be enjoyable for everyone, respecting the health guidelines by the province as well as physical distancing while in our shops, our parks and restaurants. We know you want to help keep Burnaby safe and we want you to know that the Burnaby is doing everything possible to keep you safe as well.
