Civic Engagement
The City of Burnaby works to support a strong and caring community in which individuals, groups and organizations actively participate in, contribute to and help shape community and civic life. An involved community is an engaged community, where neighbours know each other, where contributions are recognized and celebrated and where there are strong connections across diverse groups.

Policies and Initiatives
Burnaby welcomes citizens to get involved with their City. A range of volunteering opportunities exist including on civic Boards and Committees, through Citizen Support Services, in Community Policing initiatives and for Environmental Stewardship Events. Information about City processes and programs is published and distributed through the quarterly InfoBurnaby newsletter, and highlighted in annual activities for Local Government Awareness Week.
