A Message from Mayor Mike Hurley
To My Fellow Burnaby Residents:
The end of the COVID-19 pandemic is within sight.
The Province has released a re-opening plan that will see us gradually reduce public health restrictions as more people get vaccinated and COVID-19 cases drop.
Like many of you, I experienced a wave of emotions at the thought of being able to hug my loved ones, enjoy a meal at my favourite restaurant, or take in a live sporting event or concert in the near future.
But while we have so much to look forward to, we still have work to do.
We need to reach critical immunization thresholds to ensure our reopening can continue safely. That’s why Burnaby will be competing against other municipalities in Fraser Health to see which City can be the first community to reach herd immunity.
We’re so close to the finish line – we just need one final push. If you haven’t already signed up to get your vaccine, visit www.gov.bc.ca/getvaccinated for information on how to register for an appointment.
If you are vaccinated, congratulations! You can still help by reaching out to friends and family to encourage them to get their vaccine as soon as possible.
Together, we can put an end to the COVID-19 pandemic, and earn some bragging rights along the way.
Sincerely,
Mayor Mike Hurley
Be Active!
Enjoy programs and activities at our community centres.
