Here’s your chance.As a resident of

Burnaby or New Westminster, or a tourist in town for a few days, this guide is your perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in all the wonderful activities these cities have to offer.

There are dozens of festivals, sure, but there is also a feast of possibilities from active to contemplative. Climb a wall, go fi shing, visit a museum or fl y a kite, these cities have it all.

There are simply so many things going on.

A visitor might not know it by driving down Kingsway or Hastings, but Burnaby is home to hundreds of kilometres of walking trails, in places like Burnaby Lake Park and Deer Lake. At Burnaby Mountain, you can hike, mountain bike, and simply get away from it all.

And in New West, there’s a vibrant sports community, heritage to spare and one of the largest festivals in the province, the annual Hyack festival.

In this guide, you’ll fi nd all those things and more in our pick of the top 101 ways to spend your time.

Why not be a tourist in your own town and see what you’ve been missing?

Or welcome a tourist to your town. Show them what it has to offer.

Meantime, enjoy browsing, and enjoy living in a great little corner of the world.

ON BEHALF OF CITY COUNCIL, I’D LIKE TO welcome everyone to explore the wonderful recreational and cultural opportunities that Burnaby has to offer.

We are very proud of our parks, heritage sites and recreational facilities. More than 25 per cent of our city

is dedicated to green space; dozens of cultural and heritage sites enliven our City; and we have Western Canada’s second largest shopping mall. We’ve got it all.

Visit Burnaby Village Museum and the Parker Carousel, ride the miniature train at Confederation Park, watch a parade, take in the Roots and Blues festival, or catch a sporting event at Swangard Stadium. This Guide has great suggestions for fun and exciting things to do and see in Burnaby. Please use it to help you enjoy our wonderful city!

MAYOR DEREK CORRIGAN


European Festival The 15th instalment on Saturday, May 26

will be a showcase of more than 30 countries including folk dancers, musicians in cos-tume, cultural displays, food, beer garden and a finale with a live band. Held at Swangard Stadium (Kingsway and Boundary Road) in Burnaby. Visit www.eurofestbcsociety.com.

Foodies Check out Burnaby Heights, along

Hastings Street, for everything from Italian to Asian grocer-ies, French bistros, cappuc-cino bars, and the beckoning presence of Valley Bakery. Edmonds Street and the adjacent HighGate area has become a multicultural mecca for food, with groceries, butch-ers and restaurants represent-ing Eastern European, Middle Eastern, Asian, North African, Turkish cuisines and more. In New West, River Market at Westminster Quay is in the midst of a major overhaul which will eventually see it become a focus for food-ies. The city is also home to Karmavore (610 Columbia St.), an independent, 100 per cent vegan store.

Mountain biking at Burnaby Mountain

Mountain Air Bike Skills Park on Barnet Highway at Takeda Drive features jumps, berms, ramps, ladders, rollers, walls and beams. Riders can then test those skills on the 20 km. of trails that encircle and bisect the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area. Info: www.bmba.ca

Hats Off Day Enjoy Burnaby’s

biggest street party Saturday, June 2, when Heights merchants take their hats off to the community. It begins with a parade on Hastings between Boundary and Gamma. Visit www.burna-byheights.com.

Sapperton Day Sapperton busi-nesses put on

Sapperton Day Street Festival on June 10 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on East Columbia Street in New Westminster.

Fish hatchery There are a number of fish releases in

Burnaby every spring, the larg-est is the Great Salmon Send Off at Stoney Creek, May 12. The Sapperton Fish and Game Club also maintains a hatchery in New West to stock streams that feed the Brunette River. Info: sappertonfishandgame.com

Fishing Drop a baited line into Deer Lake. If

you fish from shore, or from the dock, you’ll likely reel in a carp. Paddle or float into deeper water, especially in spring and fall, you might hook a rainbow trout, stocked there by the Fraser Valley Trout Hatchery. You’ll need a B.C. freshwater fishing licence.

Bird watching Burnaby’s two lakes provide ample

opportunities for bird-watch-ing. From the viewing tower at the east end of Burnaby Lake, look for herons, eagles, kingfishers, osprey and ducks. Reach the tower from Piper Avenue. Walking the trail that encircles Deer Lake will pro-vide chances to see songbirds, ducks, egrets, kingfishers, hawks, ducks, herons and the occasional eagle. Spot shore-birds and eagles from the beach and along Drummond Walk at Barnet Marine Park. In New West, the best bird watching is by walking the trail that skirts the Brunette River from the lower parking lot at Hume Park.

Shopping Metropolis at Metrotown has 450

stores, making it the largest shopping centre in B.C., but there’s also Lougheed Town Centre and Brentwood Town Centre. All are easily accessible along SkyTrain. For a more “neighbourhood” shopping experience, stroll Hastings in Burnaby’s Heights area, or visit burgeoning districts like HighGate or along North Road, where Korean mer-chants have concentrated. In New West, Royal City Centre anchors the Uptown, while Downtown offers an eclectic mix of boutiques, antique shops and wedding outfitters.

Cycling The Central Valley Greenway is a safe

network of marked bike lanes and designated paths that travels from Columbia Street in New West, through Burnaby

along the Millennium SkyTrain route into Vancouver. There’s also the bike-friendly 26-km BC Parkway, beneath the Expo line.

Farmers markets Burnaby and New

West are home to three weekly farmers markets that run through summer. The Burnaby Farmers Market (www.artisanmarkets.ca) will run at the Burnaby City Hall ever Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. from May 5 to Oct. 27. There’s also a pocket market Wednesday afternoons at SFU and the Royal City Farmers Market (rcfm.ca) will return to Tipperary Park on Thursdays, 3-7 p.m., from June 7 to Oct. 4.

Walk The boardwalk that spans the Quayside

in New Westminster is a pleas-ant stroll to enjoy the working waterway known as the Fraser River. Upstream is a pleasant walk at Sapperton Landing, while downstream there’s Burnaby Fraser Foreshore Park. There’s more challenging ter-rain in Robert Burnaby Park, in the forests surrounding Simon Fraser University and in Penzance Park in the north-west corner of Burnaby. There are also many picturesque trails to walk in Central Park, Deer Lake Park and Burnaby Lake Park, and the B.C. Parkway running along the SkyTrain line offers an optimal walking opportunity.

Boating Deer Lake is one of the most picturesque

spots in the Lower Mainland and one of the best ways to experience it is on the water. Deer Lake Boat Rentals rents canoes, kayaks, pedal boats and row boats. The boathouse is at 5435 Sperling Ave. at the southeast corner of the lake.

Rowing With its calm waters, Burnaby Lake offers

one of the best places in North America for competitive rowers to train. Burnaby Lake Rowing Club at the west end of the lake has many experi-enced scullers but also offers private lessons for those who want to learn. The Burnaby Canoe and Kayak Club is run out of the same facility and offers programs for people age eight and older.

Paddlewheeler ride Travel on the Fraser

River just as the province’s pioneers did, by paddlewheel. Paddlewheeler Riverboat Cruises is based out of New Westminster Quay and offers various spectacular cruises along the river.

Running The trails at Burnaby Lake are ideal for

serious joggers. Central Park has marked distance trails and for those that want an opti-mum technical experience, the track at Swangard Stadium is open for public use Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., except during events. Queen’s Park in New Westminster also has a pleasant path.

Charity walks and runs

There are several runs and walks for charity held throughout the year includ-ing the WRA Walk for Wildlife to be held at Burnaby Lake on Sept 30th and the Jan. 1 Resolution Run at Fraser Foreshore Park. Lengths vary. For running events visit www.events.runningroom.com.

Ice skating Public ice skating is

available in Burnaby at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre and Kensington Arena in Burnaby, and Queen’s Park and Moody Park arenas in New Westminster. Times are available in the parks and recreation areas of the city websites: www.burnaby.ca and www.newwestpcr.ca.

New West Museum and Archives

Keeping history alive is what the New Westminster Museum and Archives is all about. The museum is at Irving House (302 Royal Ave.), one of the oldest homes in Metro Vancouver.

Eagles Estate Garden This magnificent

mansion and garden on the southeast corner of Deer Lake is open to the public. The 1.6 acre terraced garden was designed by renowned horticulturist Frank E. Buck for Blythe and Violet Eagles, and is being restored to former glory. An interpretive centre is generally open Monday to Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., from May until Thanksgiving.

Nutritional Snack Program.

In 2005, the Burnaby Firefighters Charitable Society started a Nutritional Snack Program,

providing healthy snacks for elementary and high schools classified as inner city by the provincial government. The Charitable Society is working diligently to add more schools, which qualify as inner city, as they believe no child should ever go hungry.

Over 60 other groups and programs are supported by the Charitable Society. You can help with their ongoing endeavors!

Stop to smell the rosesThe Centennial

Rose Garden in the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area features dozens of varieties of the fragrant and colourful flowers that bloom throughout the summer. Wander over to the fence for breathtaking views up Indian Arm and over the Burrard Inlet.

Cherish your freedomGo to Sapperton

Landing Park at the foot of Cumberland Street in New Westminster, turn around and look up towards the old gate-house of the BC Penitentiary.

There are signs in the park retelling its colourful and important role in New Westminster’s history.

Time travel to the 1960sThe Baldwin House

on the southern shore of Deer Lake in Burnaby is a two-storey modern post-and-beam home designed and built in 1965 by renowned architect Arthur Erickson. For years the house was the home of Erickson’s friends, Dr. William Baldwin and his wife, Ruth. It now belongs to the BC Land Conservancy and has been restored and refurnished to its former glory. The house is available for rentals. Info: blog.conservancy.bc.ca/

Get spookedCeperley House, in Burnaby Deer Lake

Park, isn’t just the home of the Burnaby Art Gallery; it also houses a ghost. The 1909 mansion was built by Henry Ceperley as a retirement home for himself and his second wife, Grace. When Grace died, she willed the house to her husband with the condition that if he ever sold it, the proceeds would go towards constructing a children’s play-ground in Stanley Park. But Henry kept the money to him-self, and now the house is said to be haunted by a woman in a white flowing old-fashioned dress, thought to be Grace. Info: spooky-canada.livejour-nal.com/912.html

Pet a horseThe Burnaby Horseman’s

Association has operated stables at the east of Burnaby Lake since 1971. The facility has two outdoor riding arenas, one indoor arena, a round pen, as well as access to the net-work of trails around Burnaby Lake. For more information: www.burnabyhorsemensasso-ciation.com
