Location
The phenomenon of Burnaby as a
business location began in the 1980s with
the growth of lm and television studios.
Bridge Studios was the rst, followed by
Canadian Motion Picture Park Studios
(Canada's largest), Mammoth Studios
and a host of related infrastructure that
today provides year-round employment
for thousands of people. In the 1990s
Burnaby also became a high-tech hub due
to Electronic Arts, Ballard Power Systems
and Telus. This momentum of Burnaby
being a prime business location was further
enhanced by the new media and digital
entertainment sectors, whose focus on
software was ideally suited to Burnaby's
green values, and promised considerable
future growth opportunities.
Creativity
Burnaby has been strongly promoted as a
"creative city," and Mayor Derek Corrigan
has frequently explained the concept by
stating, "Burnaby's commitment to pursuing
creative opportunities has resulted in the
completion of many successful initiatives
in many areas. We have found new ways to
engage with citizens, businesses and visitors.
Creative solutions require collaboration.
You can't be creative if you're not having a
dialogue to determine what people want
Burnaby is situated in the heart of
Metro Vancouver and is easily
accessible by SkyTrain and from
major highways
