The Perfect Blend
With its ourishing town centres, diverse business community,
strong economic growth and abundance of natural beauty,
Burnaby has all the ingredients that make up a world-class city
B
urnaby has often been described as a world-class city, and its
prominence in the 21st century is such that many people accept that
description at face value.
But it begs the question: what makes a city world class? What
makes it a place where people of all backgrounds want to live, where
businesses want to operate and tourists want to visit?
Although no two great cities are alike and therefore many ingredients
di•er, three key elements are unalterable. In no particular order, a world-class city
of large geographical size must have distinct and thriving town centres. It must
have a dynamic business component, with a mix of internationally renowned
companies and homegrown ‚rms. Equally important, government and the private
sector must be actively engaged in enhancing not only the physical landscape of
the city, but also making the most of its cultural, lifestyle and heritage elements.
Whether it's walking the trails,
having a picnic while taking in
breathtaking views or enjoying
the always exciting summer
festival season, Deer Lake Park
has something for everyone
