BLPA Social Media Content Survey

The internet and social media have been great tools for us to keep in touch with our community, especially during the past 20 months when we have not been in the park like we usually are. Our channels are a tool to keep you informed about what is going at Burnaby Lake, and connect you to Nature – whether it is letting you know about stewardship opportunities, learning about Burnaby Lake’s ecosystem, its birds, wildlife and plants or simply to share the beauty of our home sweet home.

This quick survey helps us find out how you connect with us and how you think we are doing so we can improve.

If you complete the survey by December 31st, 2021, you will be entered into a random drawing from all submitted surveys by that date to win a $25 Gift Certificate to Mountain Equipment Co-op. You must provide your name and email address at the end of the survey so we can contact you if you are the winner. Must be age 16+ to enter.

* One entry per person per completed survey. BLPA Directors or contractors are not eligible to win.

Winter Birding in Burnaby

Thanks to our friends at What’s On Burnaby for the opportunity to introduce beginners to birding. You will find basic tips to help identify birds and some photos of the birds you may see in Burnaby. This is just a start – there have been up to 200 species of birds recorded at Burnaby Lake throughout the year!

Holiday Open House 2021

Drop by Piper Spit for the Burnaby Lake Park Association’s “reimagined” Holiday Open House.

Due to the current restrictions, we are unable to host activities in the Nature House this year so we are taking things outside! Learn about the birds of Burnaby Lake, the history of the Lake, the BLPA and our our activities from our member volunteers. We will be serving hot apple drink to warm you up!

Register for one of four guided nature walks (11:30 am, 12:00 pm, 12:30 pm, or 1:00 pm) along forested trails to discover birds and wildlife in the park. The walks will have a maximum of 10 participants and will last 30-40 minutes. Saftey checks and protocols are in place for registration and the walk. Register here.

This event is free and everyone, of any age, is welcome! Please dress appropriately for the weather – rain gear and waterproof shoes are likely a good idea! The event will go on unless there is another atmospheric river.
