WELCOME TO BURNABY Burnaby residents are lucky to live in the heart of the Lower Mainland. More than 223,000 people call Burnaby home, and the wide variety of services available boggles the mind. In the fast-paced world we live in, it’s easy to forget all the amenities that are “Yours to Discover.”

From concerts at Deer Lake Park to dinners at critically acclaimed restaurants like the Hart House and the Pear Tree, Burnaby residents live in a world-class city with world-class amenities.

For a number of years, Burnaby has been undergoing a development boom, with new residential growth springing up in many areas of the city. Burnaby boasts several ‘town centre’ areas – Metrotown, Edmonds, The Heights, Lougheed and Brentwood – that serve as a focus for business and shopping.

A growing and thriving UniverCity neighbourhood has also developed, adjacent to Simon Fraser University.

Residents who haven’t had a chance to explore everything the city has to offer can look through this guide and discover what is “Discover Burnaby.”

RIVERWAY GOLF COURSE

Costumed townsfolk provide fun entertainment and a history lesson.

Did we mention gate admission is free?

Metropolis at Metrotown is British Columbia’s largest shopping centre. With nearly 400 stores, you’ll probably find what you’re looking for. Steps away from the SkyTrain, the mall has one of the biggest food fairs in the Lower Mainland.

BURNABY I SHOP THE HEIGHTS Get that small-town feel when you visit the Heights.

The Heights is one of three hills facing the Burrard Inlet. Thousands of immigrants came to the area in 1902 with the opening of Hastings Street and the arrival of the streetcar in North Burnaby in 1908, closely followed by the first merchants. Many Italians called the Heights home, joining the English and Irish immigrants who came before.

The Heights Merchants Association focuses on issues affecting the area and has been an official business improvement area since 1994. The association is involved in street beautification, cleaning, installing street banners, member advocacy, branding, decorative street signs, the annual Heights business directory and not to mention a variety of seasonal events.

It’s a party on Hats Off Day in June starting with a parade down Hastings Street.

Businesses “tip their hats” to customers with activities, food and entertainment throughout the day. Halloween and the Lunar New Year are some other festivities are celebrated by the community throughout the year.

The area has old and new stores alike, the older owned by second and third generation merchants, and many new businesses and services from new immigrants from diverse cultures.

The diversity of the Heights makes this area a small town with a big heart. For information, go to www.burnabyheights.com.

BURNABY

FACTS

The girl on the swing is a neon sign on Hastings Street that dates back to 1957 when it promoted Helen’s Childrens wear at 4142 East Hastings. Although Helen’s closed their doors in 2006, the sign has been refurbished and is now the sign for the Heights Merchants Association.

BURNABY I SHOP EDMONDS I HIGHGATE VILLAGE The roots of the Edmonds neighbourhood run deep.

Burnaby’s first municipal hall was located at the corner of Kingsway and Edmonds 125 years ago.

Much has changed since then, but Kingsway is still a major commuter route. With more residential and commercial buildings being built, Edmonds is one of the fastestgrowing regions in the city. Plans for the new Southgate City are in the works, with up to 20 towers and a new seniors centre planned for the next several years.

The Edmonds Community Centre opened in 2013, and has been a centre for the community ever since. It was the first community centre to be built in the city in more than 20 years, and is double the size of the Bonsor Recreation Complex. It includes 90,000 square feet of space, a double gymnasium, a six-lane 25-metre lap pool, leisure pool, hot tub and sauna. The double gym provides space for badminton, basketball and floor hockey, and there is also a multipurpose area, a child care area, studio space, a youth centre, martial arts, and space for seniors. A fitness centre and 200 parking spaces are on site.

COMMUNITY CENTRE

Edmonds, like the other town centres, has seen a lot of development in the recent past. First, redevelopment of the old Middlegate mall into the state-of-the-art HighGate Village. Soon afterwards, the Tommy Douglas Library, which it is already being lauded as one of the best libraries in the Lower Mainland. Edmonds is also home to Nikkei Place, which includes the National Nikkei Heritage Centre and the Japanese Canadian National Museum.

DINING

Edmonds is known for its multicultural mix of residents, with many Eastern European and African immigrants happy to call Edmonds home. For foodies, Edmonds has one of the greatest variety of cuisines than anywhere in the Lower Mainland. Traditional Italian, Greek and Chinese restaurants are joined by Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, Nigerian and Indian restaurants.

BURNABY

FACTS

Edmonds is among the most culturally diverse places in Canada. In fact, the chance any two randomly chosen people in the riding will be of different ethnic origins is as high as 85 per cent in some neighbourhoods, according to MountainMath, a Vancouver company specializing in analytics.

BURNABY I SHOP LOUGHEED TOWN CENTRE BURNABY

FACTS

When complete, Altus, part of SOLO District, one of the developments coming soon to Brentwood Town Centre, will be the tallest building in Burnaby at over 550 feet. It will also be the tallest tower east of Burrard Street, only a few floors short of being as tall as Vancouver’s luxurious Shangri-La tower.

Lougheed Town Centre is a lively spot to live, shop, eat and play in the city, and it’s only getting bigger. The “City of Lougheed” is Canada’s largest new master plan, with Shape Properties Corp. investing $7 billion into the project over the next 30 years, with high-rise towers, and commercial spaces to join the existing mall in a network of pedestrian walkways and greenways.

The popular shopping mall is home to the city’s only Wal-Mart Supercentre, which features a full grocery section complete with fresh produce and meat. Last year, the mall added a wireless lounge located on the upper level, furnished with comfortable chairs, HD TVs and wireless Internet that make any visit to Lougheed Town Centre a special one.

Lougheed Town Centre is located at the corner of North Road and Austin Avenue and is easily accessible by SkyTrain, bus and car. With the new Evergreen SkyTrain extension, people from the neighbouring Tri-Cities are able to access the Burnaby mall with ease. For more information on events and activities, go to www.lougheedtowncentre.com.

BRENTWOOD TOWN CENTRE Already a site for luxury housing, community and shopping, big changes are in store for Brentwood Town Centre. “The Amazing Brentwood” is a $2.5 billion project that aims to be one of the largest urban centres in North America to live, shop and play. Cineplex will be opening a theatre and B.C.’s first Rec Room in 2019.

For now, visit one of the many open shops already open with the family.

Bring the young ones to Brentwood’s children’s services, and don’t forget to stop by for Feel Good Fridays from noon to 2 p.m. every Friday.

Here are our choices for the best places to get a great meal and a great view at the same time.

HART HOUSE

HORIZON’S

Horizons Restaurant at Burnaby Mountain has been around for more than two decades and with great food and stunning mountain views, it’s easy to see why. Horizons at 100 Centennial Way is truly fine dining with a view.

BURNABY

FACTS

One hidden gem of a fine dining restaurant with a view is Reflect Social Dining and Lounge at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown, which has a patio that offers great views of South Burnaby.

The three-acre estate on which Hart House stands was first purchased by New Westminster businessman Frederick Hart in 1906.

Burnaby bought the property in 1979, and for eight years it was occasionally used as a film set. Eventually, the idea of opening a restaurant was proposed and in 1988, Hart House Restaurant opened its doors.

Reflect at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown is located at 6083 McKay Ave. For more information, call 604-438-1200.

For a spectacular lake view, Hart House at 6664 Deer Lake Ave. can’t be beat.

BURNABY I EAT BURNABY

FACTS

Burnaby is one of the most culturally diverse cities in Metro Vancouver, in fact, more than half the population immigrated to the city from places outside of Canada, according to 2011 census data. So take a trip around the world without leaving Burnaby – from Italian and Vietnamese to Korean and Greek, you’re bound to find something to satisfy your adventurous appetite.

Ethnic Dining

Travel the world with your taste buds with Burnaby’s diverse dining options. There are too many great ethnic restaurants to list here, but here are three favourites that take you from Africa to Mexico and then Japan.

The Safari Snack House and Grill at 5121 Canada Way is Shairose Shamji-Karmali’s baby and she makes some of the best authentic East African food anywhere. From homemade samosas to spicy meat dishes, Shairose offers up huge portions at affordable prices. For more info, call 604515-9211.

If Indian food is your flavour, visit Burnaby’s Agra Tandoori Restaurant. Their butter chicken is a favourite among online foodies, plus they

have a lengthy menu with lots of vegetarian options for anyone who doesn’t eat meat, including aloo ghobi, shahee paneer and malai kofta.

Located at 110-3790 Canada Way, Agra Tandoori is open every day for both lunch and dinner. Call 604-430-1600 for more info.

Finding good Asian food isn’t difficult in Burnaby, but for our money, one of the best is Take Sushi Japanese Restaurant at 4528 East Hastings St. in the Heights. Owner and chef Jason Zhang has spent the past eight years putting together a unique menu that focuses on freshness, affordability and new flavours. Try the tuna and mango salad and you won’t look at salad the same again.

For more info, call 604-291-7241.
