Pop Up Display July

You’ve seen us in the park – knee deep in weeds? Up a ladder with a nest box? Ever wonder what the Burnaby Lake Park Association is doing or have a question about the park?

Drop by our Pop Up display at Cariboo Dam and discover what the BLPA is about and learn about some of the species in the park.

May Flowers at Last!

Rhododendron Festival Image 2017

It was long, weary winter and a very wet Spring so far. We’re hoping all those April showers are resulting in some gorgeous May flowers with more blue skies and warmer days ahead. We’ll be at the annual City of Burnaby Rhodofest on Sunday with information about invasive species, nest boxes and our activities at Burnaby Lake Regional Park. The forecast is for a sunny warm day – See you there!
