r/burnaby

R5 has been stopped for like.. 20-30 mins at MacDonald ave despite red lights or green lights. Super confused. Anybody know what’s going on to cause this?

Will be on a 10 day vacation to Europe and need pet resort/hotel recommendation please? No access to a trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you in advance

This happened a blockish from Burnaby hospital. (For reference.)

Dear lady,

I'm sorry your dog was so stressed. I clearly didn't read the signs well. I'm not mad at you or your dog at all. I'm also ok. Just some small punctures, no tearing. It was super clear your dog was just scared and not being aggressive. I hope your small friend is able to get some desensitisation training. I'll even help if you like. Poor little fella shouldn't have to go through life with all that fear. I hope you're both ok.

Sincerely,

Your neighbour

Make sure to apply for your grant if eligible!

Did anyone else get a huge increase? My condo assessment is down this year and yet my property tax is up 10%

I’m in north Burnaby and I see a huge plume of black smoke in the middlegate area. Anyone know what is happening?

I love this spot, but watching people gleefully harm the waterfowl and other birds by feeding them all day is just breaking my heart. They're feeding them right next to the sign that says No Feeding. Yesterday someone was encouraging their kid to try to forcefeed the sandhill crane. The overpopulation right next the pier is so extreme that birds are fighting each other over food and space in a way that is so unnecessary with empty land around them. They are nesting close to the food source so goslings are piling on top of ducklings etc. If one bird gets avian flu there is going to be a massive bird wipeout. It's bolstering the cowbird population which harms nesting bird populations. And on and on.

I wish the Burnaby Lake staff took a stronger stance as well. The sign clearly isn't cutting it.

Hey everyone, I recently moved to North Burnaby near Brentwood and I’m looking for a good gym in the area. I used to go to GoodLife at Metrotown before moving.

Now I’m mainly looking for something around Brentwood since I also work nearby. Any recommendations or gyms you’ve had good experiences with?

Thanks.

If you own this and often drive by the central park area, my mom lives in a carehome nearby and always sees your car. She has dementia and its currently one of the main things shell talk about, and oddly remembers it. Thanks for it, its hard to keep her into conversation mode these days. Keep up the car work !! Lol

This might be a long shot 😅 but I recently started working in Coquitlam, and I live near BCIT Burnaby.

I'm wondering if anvone here does a similar commute and might be interested in carpooling. I'd of course help pay for gas/parking

Transit is destroying my soul lol

Corner of Hastings and Holdom, the new Canco is selling regular for $1.99/L.

Anyone else living in high rises dealing with a crazy amount of dust? Like it’s actually ridiculous. Im sure all the construction around doesn’t help either. Should I order an air purifier? How effective is it? Any other recommendations?
