Any names that you call Burnaby?
My friends and I have always called it B-Town.
Camilla Mendes from Riverdale also coined people living here as "Burnabaddies" when she was filming here in 2021. That stuck too.
Helped the neighbour unclog the drain since there was nowhere for all the water to go
EDIT: There is a DEAD seal in this image, the second seal was bobbing up and down for help.
A few days ago I was on my kayak on the Burrard Inlet, near Rocky Point Park
Lots of boats and people out and about. Rib fest was going on.
I saw this round object poke out, then all of a sudden it rolled on its belly and I paddled closer to take a look. Then a second seal surfaced. It looked me straight in the eyes. I don’t mean to humanize an animal, but it had a concerned look and kept looking at me. It kept bobbing up and circling the belly-up seal.
I didn’t approach any closer and decided to get help on shore. I paddled to the shore and it had followed me, it swam under the docks and looked at me while I was on the phone with the authorities. It was clearly trying to get attention from humans, supposedly to help the other seal.
I called the DFO Hotline to make sure that the other seal is OK. They took down my name and number but I have no idea if local authorities came. I was so worried that the other seal was in distress, at its clearly downed friend/mate who wasn’t moving for over 20 minutes.
I’m so sad and I still think about this moment where I just wanted to paddle closer and tell the seal it’s OK. I didn’t get a solid video as I was on my Kayak and trying to see what was going on. It’s chilling when an animal locks eyes with you.
Anyone else have an idea what happened or also saw this?
