Burnaby, British Columbia
Located slightly east of Vancouver proper, Burnaby is the third-largest city in British Columbia. Covering a landmass of 98.60 square kilometers, this community serves as a popular urban centre. In 1859 Robert Burnaby, the town’s founding father and namesake, was exploring the region when he stumbled upon a beautiful freshwater lake that he christened 'Burnaby Lake'. This lake later became the geographical center of the area which grew in size as the years passed. In the first few decades following incorporation, the town’s growth was heavily influenced by the city of Vancouver as it served as an agricultural centre growing food to supply Vancouver's citizens. Later, Burnaby became an important transportation hub, serving to connect Vancouver with the Fraser Valley and the interior of the province. As Vancouver grew, Burnaby followed, and today the community enjoys a thriving populace of individuals, families and business interests.
