Youth and Youth Engagement
The City of Burnaby recognizes youth as active partners and participants in the development and delivery of youth services and other City initiatives. As well, young people are recognized and valued for their accomplishments and contributions towards the development of a strong Burnaby community.

The involvement of youth with the City is led by the Burnaby Civic Youth Policy. Youth recreation and community involvement is supported through four City-operated youth centres: K.R.I.B. (Kids Recreating In Burnaby) Youth Centre, Creekside Youth Centre, South Central Youth Center, and Summit Youth Centre. This involvement is celebrated every year during Burnaby Youth Week, held annually in May. As well, the City publishes a quarterly ‘Youth Matters’ Newsletter with all the latest information for youth.
The City also supports, in partnership with the Burnaby RCMP and the Burnaby School District (#41), a restorative justice program for young offenders. Restorative Justice provides a constructive and meaningful response to crime and conflict by creating opportunities for accountability, understanding and healing.
