Burnaby
Burnaby (population: 202,799) is the Greater Vancouver Regional District’s geographical heart, with easy access to Vancouver, the North Shore Mountains and Whistler to the west and north, as well as to communities such as New Westminster, Port Moody and Coquitlam to the south and east. Thanks to this central location, plus a superb public transportation system that includes the SkyTrain –the world’s longest, automated, light-rapid transit system– Burnaby has grown to become BC’s third largest city.
Burnaby is a full-fledged, sparkling city in its own right. It is home to world-renowned Simon Fraser University as well as to Metrotown, BC’s largest shopping complex. It has also become one of the province’s key high-tech research hubs.
