Celebrate World Rivers Day at Burnaby Village Museum
You’re invited to Burnaby Village Museum on Sunday, September 27 for our free annual celebration of World Rivers Day, a home-grown celebration with its origins right here in Burnaby! Guests can enjoy a day of family-friendly fun, including demonstrations, displays, tours, activities, crafts and live entertainment throughout the day. Some of the fun we’ve got in store includes:
Indigenous games, arts and crafts for the whole family
A river-themed scavenger hunt, tracking down clues about our rivers across the whole museum grounds
The history of Burnaby’s many creeks, streams and waterways from celebrated local wilderness from nature photographer and knowledge keeper John Preissl
Live kids entertainment and music on the Vorce Tram stage
Environmental documentary screenings
Ecosystem Restoration Events
If you’re ready to help ensure Burnaby’s many waterways are protected and healthy for generations to come, roll up your sleeves and join an ecosystem restoration. Volunteers can learn about the urban salmon habitat while removing invasive plants, helping to protect some of Burnaby’s most vulnerable creeks and streams. All ages, abilities, & experience levels are welcome, and equipment is provided–these events are a great way to meet new friends, give back to our environment, and have fun in nature.
Charles Rummel Park (Eagle Creek): Saturday, September 26, 9:45-1 pm – Registration required
These events are cohosted by the Green Teams of the Lower Mainland and the Byrne Creek Streamkeepers. Thank you to the environmental groups who provide year-round stewardship to some of our most sensitive waterways in Burnaby and beyond.
