For Everyone’s Safety
The City of Burnaby is committed to protecting the health and safety of our staff and anyone who visits our facilities. Preventative measures and controls are in place and will continue to be used to minimize the risk related to the COVID-19 virus. A City of Burnaby Safety Plan has been developed with guidelines, procedures and protocols to ensure safe operations as the City continues to operate and reopen facilities during the pandemic. These include staff training, controls to limit access to facilities, adjustments to seating, physical barriers, and public education signage to ensure proper health screening and hygiene practices.
