Our Community Safety Plan
We’ve designed our Community Safety Plan to increase your feeling of safety in our city, reduce incidents of safety risk and improve our community’s overall resilience and health.
Extreme heat
Keep yourself and your family safe during extreme heat events with cooling centres and pop-up cooling stations.
Alertable: Public Alerting System
Stay aware and plan ahead—Burnaby is now on the Alertable notification network. These notifications allow the City to inform subscribed users of actions to take during critical emergencies.
Transportation plan
Our Transportation Plan fully recognizes the critical role transportation networks play in creating a safer community.
Homelessness response
We’re developing a strategy to address the challenges that contribute to homelessness.
Expanded school zone hours
We're making streets safer for students and residents by expanding the hours of 30 km/h school zones in Burnaby to 7 am-10 pm (previously 8 am-5 pm).
Naloxone pilot program
Nasal naloxone spray reduces the chances of overdose from opioids. We provide emergency access to the spray kits across public facilities.
