Burnaby Social Sustainability Strategy

To ensure that Burnaby will continue to be a great place to live, work, learn, play and visit, the City of Burnaby is developing a Social Sustainability Strategy.


A draft Social Sustainability Strategy has been developed by a 25-member Steering Committee, composed of Burnaby community members, and approved, in principle, by Burnaby City Council for public review.

There are two primary ways to participate in the public consultation process:
1) By completing the survey
2) By attending an upcoming Public Open House

Read the draft Strategy: www.burnaby.ca/sss_draftstrategy. (If you require a hard copy of the draft Strategy, please call the Planning and Building Department at 604-294-7421. Limited copies are available.)
