More than 223,000 people are lucky to call the beautiful City of Burnaby home. With a wide variety of services, destinations,

attractions, and sites to discover, visitors

don’t have to look far to see what makes this dynamic and vibrant municipality so special.

The city’s eclectic offerings are the main reasons why so many people - young and old - are attracted to our growing city. From outdoor concerts at Deer Lake Park to dining at critically acclaimed eateries, Burnaby truly is a world-class city in the heart of the Lower Mainland. The unique appeal of its neighbourhoods, from the flatlands along the mighty Fraser River to the bustling energy of the Heights, plus the majestic beauty of its wilderness makes Burnaby an amazing city, and certainly worth exploring.

Residents and visitors alike are encouraged to go out and find for themselves what it really means to “Discover Burnaby.”

It can be argued that no area in Burnaby has a more interesting history than the Heights.

The Heights is one of three hills – Capitol Hill and Burnaby Mountain are the others, each successively higher as you go east – that face Burrard Inlet. Thousands of immigrants came to the area with the opening of Hastings Street in 1902 and the arrival of the streetcar in North Burnaby in 1908. With population growth, the first merchants soon appeared. Many Italians called the Heights home, joining the English and Irish immigrants who had come before.

Formed as an official business improvement area in 1994, the Heights Merchants Association focuses on issues affecting the area.

Many of the stores in the Heights are owned by second and third generation merchants. This is balanced by a wide range of newer stores and services, some run by new immigrants from diverse cultures. This diversity makes the Heights an area that truly feels like a small town with a big heart. For information, go to www.burnabyheights.com.

The history of Burnaby goes back more than 100 years to 1892, and the Edmonds neighbourhood was at the heart of that history because the city’s first municipal hall was located at the corner of Kingsway and Edmonds.

Much has changed since then, but Kingsway is still a major commuter route and with more residential and commercial

buildings being built, Edmonds is one of the fastest-growing regions in the city. The big news in recent years was the official opening of the Edmonds Community Centre, which opened in 2013.

The facility, the first community centre to be built in the city in more than 20 years, is double the size of the Bonsor Recreation Complex and includes 90,000 square feet of space, including a double gymnasium, a six-lane 25-metre lap pool, leisure pool, hot tub and sauna.

The area has undergone a multitude of new developments in the last decade. It all began with the redevelopment of the old Middlegate Mall into the state-of-the-art HighGate Village. Soon afterwards, the new Tommy Douglas Library opened in the heart of Edmonds and it is already being lauded as one of the best libraries in the Lower Mainland.

Edmonds is also known for its multicultural mix of residents, with many Eastern European and African immigrants happy to call Edmonds home.

Burnaby’s newest shopping mecca is Market Crossing in the Big Bend area. The area has been transformed into Burnaby’s latest must-stop shopping location, as its mix of stores, restaurants and services is unparalleled in the city. The area also includes pristine parkland, river views and the Riverway Golf Course, which is amongst the toughest and best courses in the Lower Mainland.

What was formerly farmland and a quiet, untraveled area is now one of the city’s busiest areas, with stores on both sides of Marine Way near Byrne Road.

If you’re looking for great food, the Cactus Club is already one of the most popular meeting places in the area. The eatery recently won “Best Patio” in the Best of Burnaby awards.

Market Crossing is proving popular for Burnaby, New Westminster and South Vancouver residents, who find it easily accessible by car, with ample free parking.

Burnaby is one of the most picturesque cities in the Lower Mainland, so it’s no surprise that several local restaurants have some of the best views. Here’s our choices for the best places to get a great meal and a great view at the same time.

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. For reservations or info, call 604-299-1155 or go to www.horizonsrestaurant.com.

For a spectacular lake view, Hart House at 6664 Deer Lake Ave. can’t be beat. The pastoral setting goes perfectly with the Hart House’s fine dining. For reservations or info, call 604-298-4278 or go to www.harthouserestaurant.com.

Two underrated fine dining restaurants with a view are the ebo Restaurant and Lounge in the Delta Burnaby Hotel, which offers a great view of the North Shore mountains, and Reflect Social Dining and Lounge at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown, which has a patio that offers great views of South Burnaby. ebo is located at 4331 Dominion St. Call 604-453-0788 or go to www.eborestaurant.com for more info. Reflect at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown is located at 6083 McKay Ave. For more info, call 604-438-1200.

Burnaby has no shortage of great ethnic dining options. From Oriental to African to South American, you can literally travel the world with your taste buds in Burnaby. 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 at 5121 Canada Way is Shairose Shamji-Karmali’s baby and she makes some of the best authentic East African food anywhere. For more info, call 604-515-9211.

If Indian food is more your flavour, check out Burnaby’s Agra Tandoori. Their butter chicken is a favourite among online foodies. Located at 110-3790 Canaday Way, Agra Tandoori is open everyday 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 a unique menu that focuses on freshness, affordability and new flavours. For more info, call 604-291-7241.

Even if you don’t have time to sit, you can still have a great meal in Burnaby. These three spots offer great food that you can take with you.

The Ice Cream Parlour at Burnaby Village Museum at 6501 Deer Lake Ave. is one of the best-kept secrets in the city. You can get everything from butter chicken to fish and chips to go. And don’t forget some ice cream as well.

There’s no more iconic takeout food than pizza and Burnaby has its fair share of great pizza joints. Two favourites are Stan’s Pizza Joint at 4527 Hastings St. where business partners Judith Gauge

and Stan Reid offer up delicious pizza at great prices. Call 604-298-

5711 for more info.

In South Burnaby, Me-n-Eds Pizza at 7110 Hall Ave. has been an institution and no less an authority than Michael J. Fox considers it the best pizza

in the city. Call 604-521-8881 for more info.

Central Park is Burnaby’s showcase park, with amenities such as tennis courts, an 18-hole pitch-and-putt golf course, a lawn bowling green, six horseshoe pitches, ball diamonds,

a challenging fitness circuit, a large outdoor pool, kids’ playgrounds, nature ponds, and kilometres of walking and biking trails.

Burnaby Mountain Park is the highest point in the city, with views of Burrard Inlet and the North Shore, New Westminster, the Fraser River, downtown Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. The highlight is the Playground of the Gods, a collection of Ainu totem pole-like carvings which commemorate the goodwill between Burnaby and its sister city, Kushiro, Japan.

Barnet Marine Park features an ample coastline that offers fun possibilities for

swimming, canoeing or kayaking. The beach offers lounging opportunities and the adjacent fishing pier is used by fisherman of all ages and abilities.

Burnaby Fraser Foreshore Park is where to go if you love the smells, sights and sounds of the Fraser River. The shoreline trail runs for several kilometres, with benches along the way so you can rest and take in everything at your own pace.

Deer Lake Park is home of many of the city’s arts facilities and also features walking trails and grassy areas to relax and look out upon the city. Metro Skate Park at Bonsor Park is one of the city’s most popular recreation facilities for youngsters and teenagers.
