I’m running for mayor to keep building a Burnaby that works for everyone. This means building the right kind of housing, improving public safety, delivering new community amenities, streamlining city processes and attracting good jobs - all while keeping property taxes down and the city debt free.
My plan includes building 1,000 new affordable rental homes, delivering three new community centres, completing the long-overdue Burnaby RCMP detachment expansion and creating the Burnaby Innovation District to attract more business investment and good jobs to our city.
I will continue to stand up for Burnaby by pressuring the provincial government to give us back control over residential zoning and repeal Bill 44, which has allowed up to six homes on single-family lots. | will also fight to get the Burnaby Hospital redevelopment back on track.
Burnaby’s future is bright — let's keep building it together!

Burnaby shaped who I am. I grew up and went to school here, watching my father serve generations of families for 50 years from his Metrotown barbershop. His greatest lesson: listen first.
I bring practical leadership experiences from classroom to boardroom - as a teacher, principal, Western Canada manager, COO of BC Diabetes, and Edmonds Business and Community Association director. I've served on Burnaby's Social Issues committee and supported the City/s outreach program.
Three degrees and Wharton studies prepared me to lead, but my greatest education came from listening to Burnaby's stories - in neighbourhoods, on buses and in small businesses.
I'm running for mayor to improve transportation and infrastructure, make everyday life easier - not harder, respect every tax dollar, attract corporate headquarters and good paying jobs, and expand rent-to-own housing to improve affordability and restore hope.
After eight years, ask yourself: Are you better off?

Hi! I'm Hanzhi.
Burnaby is a great city and I believe we can make it even better. As one of the fastest growing cities in the region we have the opportunity, and responsibility, to build a community where everyone can thrive.
If elected, I will work to make our city a welcoming place for everyone by: investing in public spaces and events to celebrate all of our diverse cultures and give everyone the opportunity to connect; providing vibrant neighbourhoods and housing for everyone by allowing more missing-middle density and mixed-use developments; improving our streets and transit infrastructure to make it easier for everyone to get around whether you walk, bike, bus, or drive; and ensuring our taxes are fair for everyone.
Together we can make Burnaby the best city in Canada, for everyone.
