Burnaby Streamkeepers Program
The City of Burnaby supports environmental stewardship groups that help protect and restore Burnaby’s many Waterways and Watersheds throughout the City. These groups and their dedicated volunteers play an important role in monitoring, enhancing and speaking on behalf of Burnaby‘s fish-bearing and non fish-bearing watercourses and adjacent riparian habitat. City staff work closely with streamkeeper groups on a number of initiatives, events and activities.
