Celebrating Lunar Festival in Burnaby Heights

Today I had the opportunity to spend time at the Lunar Festival in Burnaby Heights, and it was a powerful reminder of what makes our city special.

Burnaby is built on community pride. You see it in the families who come out together, the children proudly wearing traditional clothing, and the neighbours who stop to talk and reconnect. Events like this bring people together across generations and cultures in a way that strengthens the fabric of our city.

The Burnaby Heights business community was out in full force, welcoming visitors, supporting the celebration, and showcasing the small businesses that help our neighbourhoods thrive year-round. These local shops and restaurants are the backbone of our economy and a big part of what gives Burnaby Heights its character.

The Lunar Festival is more than a celebration — it’s a reflection of the cultural strength of the Burnaby community. Our diversity is not just something we acknowledge; it’s something we actively celebrate.

Grateful to spend the afternoon connecting with residents and experiencing the energy, tradition, and community spirit that define Burnaby.
