Cameron Community Centre and Library

The new Cameron Community Centre and Library is an exciting new complex designed to meet the growing and changing needs of northeast Burnaby. 

Once complete, the new community centre will be the largest in Burnaby. It will feature an aquatic facility, gymnasium, weight room, expanded library, and a civic plaza fronting Cameron Street. 

Features include:

• expanded library
• aquatic facility
• gymnasium featuring two full-sized basketball courts
• weight room and cardio facilities
• indoor running track
• fitness studios
• multipurpose rooms
• dedicated youth and seniors spaces
• child minding and indoor and outdoor play areas
• civic plaza

Project updates

Spring 2026: We are continuing work on the facility’s structural frame, which includes concrete, structural steel and mass timber.

Mass timber 

Once complete, the mass timber structure will mark a significant milestone for the project. Mass timber is a lower carbon alternative to steel, supporting Burnaby’s climate goals while providing strength and durability. Selected for its reduced environmental impact and strong structural performance, mass timber demonstrates how sustainable materials can also deliver efficient, high-quality construction.

Tree replacement

Burnaby values our trees. As part of this project, we will be planting 779 new trees to replace the 166 trees that were removed during construction. We strive to plant replacement trees on public property as close to the original location as possible, in keeping with City’s Tree Bylaw and Tree Management Policy for Public Lands.
