Thank you!

1 Best of Burnaby 2015 Winner, Burnaby Now, Readers Choice Awards. ® The TD logo and other trade-marks are the property of The Toronto-Dominion Bank.M01698 (1014)

TD would like to thank our Burnaby customers forvoting us Best in Service for 2015.1

YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN!Readers choose their favourites in Burnaby

The businesses listed in this special section have been selected as the best in their specifi c category by the readers

of the Burnaby NOW. We published ballots earlier this year and offered a $1,000 shopping spree as an incentive for residents to cast their vote for their favourites in over 100 different cat-egories in dining, entertainment, retail and services. The shopping spree was provided by Metropolis at Metrotown. Well it worked! We counted thousands of offi cial ballots in print and online, and tabulated winners for all categories.

While this wasn’t a scientifi c survey, the level of participation does lend cred-ibility to the outcome. Most market research is based on the responses of

a much smaller segment of the population.

The 2015 Best of Burnaby winners are most deserving of our recogni-tion as simply the “Best in Burnaby.” But don’t take our word for it. Why not visit each of the businesses listed in this special feature and decide for yourself. Then, next year you’ll be more qualifi ed to cast your votes in our 19th Annual Best of Burnaby Awards!

B BIt seems only fi tting that Vancity should win the Best Sustainable Business. Sustainabil-ity, after all, is the foundation that the entire business is built on.

“We are building communities that are environmentally, economically and so-cially sustainable,” says Maria Michayluk, senior branch manager for the Burnaby Heights community branch, noting that those values serve as guiding principles for the company. “Our model of banking is values-based and grounded in the local economy.”

Michayluk noted that Vancity’s branch design is a direct refl ection of those values. Two of its six Burnaby branches - the Burnaby Heights and South Burnaby community branches - have received LEED certifi cation.

LEED is a recognized system for certify-ing high-performance green interiors that

are healthy, productive places to work, are less costly to maintain and have a reduced environmental footprint.

And the company takes the idea of sustain-ability farther than that: into building sus-tainable communities around the banking branches.

“Our Vancity Community Branches are places where people gather, ideas incu-bate, values are shared and we build com-munity,” Michayluk said.

Among the local efforts Vancity has spear-headed: offering Burnaby Board of Trade members $500 scholarships to participate in Climate Smart training, and becoming a platinum partner of The Pledge, a compre-hensive online resource designed to help businesses reduce their overall environ-mental footprint.

Banking on sustainability

Vancity’s commitment to building sustainable communities helped it win in the sustainabil-ity category.

BMore than 30 years ago, a group of people saw a lack of knowledge and understand-ing about natural medicine - and decided to do something about it.

The result was an educational society designed to help promote health-care op-tions.

Today, that very same society is going strong - and HANS (Health Action Network Society) has once again earned Burnaby NOW readers’ votes as the Best Commu-nity Service Organization.

HANS is a charitable natural health resource that provides information on preventive medicine and natural therapeu-tics through its website, a reference library, Health Action magazine, HANS e-news and regular educational and networking events - including conferences, documen-tary screenings and various workshops with health-care practitioners.

HANS members are “like-minded people of all backgrounds who share an interest in health as well as environmental issues that impact health,” its website says.

“To stimulate the journey towards individ-ual and collective well-being, the organiza-tion also supports investigation and action on a variety of natural health, policy-related and environmental campaigns.”

Recently, those campaigns have included advocating against the GMO apple.

Issues of concern to the group have run the gamut of natural health questions, includ-ing the health risks of food irradiation, the hazards of pesticide use, the risks of cellphone use and microwave towers and the integration of natural therapeutics in health practice.

For more information about HANS, visit www.hans.org.

Helping HANS wins again

A dedicated staff helped HANS win the Commu-nity Service category once again.

BThe Vancouver Symphony Orchestra’s Sym-phony in the Park concert at Deer Lake has been a summertime tradition for some 26 years in Burnaby.

Burnaby NOW readers have recognized that fact by voting the annual event the Outdoor Concert of the Year.

The annual free concert attracts thousands of concertgoers every year to enjoy the special summertime tradition of a picnic on the grassy lawn, followed by the fi rst-class music of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.

Each year, the concert features the talents of an up-and-coming musician in a program that appeals to all ages. The concert fea-tures a repertoire of popular classics - last year’s outing included such works as John

Williams’ Raiders of the Lost Ark: March, Richard Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries and, of course, the perennially popular 1812 Overture by Peter Tchaikovsky.

Families from throughout Burnaby and around the region bring their blankets, chairs and picnics and enjoy a concert under the summer sky.

This summer, the concert is set for Sunday, July 12 at 7:30 p.m.

(Those planning to attend are reminded that parking in the area is limited, so use alternate transportation if possible.)

Check out www.vancouversymphony.ca for details as the date gets closer.

For classical music fans, there’s nothing quite like it.

The VSO’s Symphony in the Park concert is a perennial favourite at Deer Lake. It was voted Outdoor Concert of the Year by Burnaby NOW readers.

BIt will come as no surprise to anyone who’s ever visited Deer Lake that the beautiful park in the heart of the city remains popu-lar with Burnaby NOW readers.

Deer Lake earned a nod again this year in our Best of Burnaby awards for Best Place to Walk Your Dog.

It’s no wonder, really.

The lake is nestled in the heart of the city’s cultural precinct, with the Burnaby Art Gal-lery, Deer Lake Gallery and the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts all right in the neigh-bourhood.

And the natural beauty of the area is unbeatable, what with the green lawns and the beautiful views over the lake and the city beyond.

The park is served by a variety of trails - some gravel, some boardwalk and some left in their natural state - and

walkers can choose to walk long or short distances on gentle terrain. (You can check out the city’s website at www.burnaby.ca for a recommended 5.7-kilometre route around the lake and surrounding meadow.)

The park, of course, has plenty to offer everyone, with or without a pooch. Visitors can enjoy the playground, beach area, picnic sites and boat launch, as well as keeping an eye out for the local birds and

wildlife while walking the trails.

All the while, the seren-ity of the surroundings will quickly make you forget that you’re in the heart of a bustling city.

It just doesn’t get any better than that!

Best friend’s park

Serenity: Deer Lake has once again earned readers’ votes for being the best place to walk your dog in Burnaby.

It’s lonely at the top, they say - but they weren’t talking about Burnaby Mountain when they said it.

Burnaby Mountain’s popularity remains high among residents and visitors alike - and this year, Burnaby NOW readers have voted the city’s peak as the Best View in Burnaby.

All you need to do is take one look off the edge to discover the incredible views off the peak - over Burnaby, over Vancouver and over Burrard Inlet.

First logged just over a century ago, Burna-by Mountain became a popular hiking area in the 1920s. The city dedicated the area for park and recreation use in 1957, and Simon Fraser University donated 820 acres of its land to conservation area in 1995, making it a true wilderness environment with some wildlife remaining such as deer,

coyotes, and even a few black bears.

The extensive woodlands surrounding the 370-metre mountain that make up the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area offers something for everyone.

For picnickers, it’s a great place to bring a basket or, if you’d prefer to let someone else do the cooking, fi ne cuisine and more fi ne views can be found at Horizons restau-rant.

Art lovers will be captivated by the Ka-mui Mintara - the Playground of the Gods sculpture, a dozen carved poles created by Japanese sculptors created by Nuburi Toko and his son, Shusei, to mark the goodwill between Burnaby and its sister city of Kushiro, Japan.

Meet you on the mountain.

Up top where the views areB

Burnaby Mountain offers sweeping views over the city - making it no surprise that the peak earned Best View honours in our read-ers’ choice awards this year.

Hats Off Day has once again won the day as the Best An-nual Burnaby Festival in our Best of Burnaby awards - an honour the festival has won from NOW readers every year since 2005.

The festival, which marked its 30th anniversary last year with a special tribute to the 1980s, takes place each sum-mer on the fi rst Saturday in June.

This year’s June 6 event will once again give merchants in the Heights a chance to take their hats off to their custom-ers.

The festival, which originally started as a small street cel-ebration, has morphed into one of the largest community gatherings in the Lower Mainland.

“It’s a huge, one-day extravaganza featuring a colourful main-street style parade with real local fl avour, followed by a big street party,” the event’s website explains.

This year’s festivities will kick off with a Family Fun Dash along three blocks of Hastings Street, with proceeds to the Burnaby Firefi ghters Charitable Society.

This year’s parade theme is Hollywood, so visitors can expect plenty of glitz and glamour for the 2015 outing.

Hats Off Day is held on Hastings Street, between Bound-ary Road and Gamma Avenue. For more information about the festival and ways to get involved - as a volunteer, entertainer or food vendor - visit www.hatsoffday.com.

Its POPULARITY just keeps GROWING and GROWING!

BThousands of people poured onto Hastings Street for the 30th anniver-sary edition of Hats Off Day last year. The festival re-turns June 6.

BRandom fact of the day: Did you know that if you Google Michael Bublé’s name, you get about 10.9 million hits?

Yup, that hometown boy of ours is without a doubt one international megastar - so it’s not much wonder that he continues to get voted your favourite Burnaby celebrity in our annual Best of Burnaby awards.

The Cariboo Hill Secondary alum-turned-crooning sensation continues to make headlines for his accomplishments in the music world.

Among the latest news on his website: his Christmas special earned a 2015 Canadian Screen Award, he’s featured on Van Mor-rison’s new Duets album and Diana Krall’s new Wallfl ower album, he was nominated for a Junos Fan Choice Award and his Christmas album hit ‘Diamond’ status (that’s one million units sold) in Canada.

Bublé’s music career started at 18, when he began appearing in local talent shows, doing any gig that came his way. He kept on working for several years to make a name for himself. By 2000, Bublé got his big break, singing at the wedding of former prime minister Brian Mulroney’s daughter. There he met award-winning producer Da-vid Foster, who agreed to work with Bublé.

The 39-year-old crooner has a slew of awards to his credit, including multiple Grammy and Juno awards, and a host of chart-topping albums - his latest offering being 2013’s To Be Loved.

Along the way, Bublé has also made his name as a supporter of B.C. Children’s Hos-pital and a host of other charities.

See www.michaelbuble.com for all the lat-est on Bublé’s career.

BWhether you know Mayor Derek Corrigan personally or not, odds are pretty darn good that you’ve heard his name - and his voice - more than a few times over the past year.

Burnaby’s fi ve-time mayor has once again earned Burnaby NOW readers’ votes as Best Politician.

Corrigan led his Burnaby Citizens’ Associa-tion team to a third straight sweep of city council and school board in the November 2014 elections - earning nearly 69 per cent of the popular vote in the mayoral race and capping a year that saw him hit the head-lines time and time again.

Whether it was opposing the Metro Van-couver mayors’ council’s transportation plan, speaking out against expansion of Port Metro Vancouver’s Fraser Surrey Docks coal expansion plans or taking on the ride-sharing service Uber, Corrigan remained unafraid to let his views be known.

And, along the way, he earned a new prominence on the national - and interna-tional - scene as he spoke out against the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline expan-sion plans, which heated up with widely publicized protests on Burnaby Mountain in 2014.

As most Burnaby residents know, Corrigan is one half of a local political power duo - his wife, Kathy Corrigan, is the MLA for Burnaby-Deer Lake.

The couple have been married for more than 30 years and raised four children together.

Corrigan was born in Vancouver and at-tended Sir Charles Tupper High School. After winning a scholarship to UBC, he was granted early admission to law school after three years of undergraduate study in political science and philosophy. He was called to the B.C. Bar in 1978.

Outspoken? Check. Opinionated? Always.

Mayor Derek Corrigan ad-dresses the crowd at a rally on Burnaby Mountain in September. The mayor has once again won readers’ votes as Best Politician.
