Burnaby's ratio of residents to park land is one of the highest in North America.

This seems to be saying that there are very few parks. (If your ratio is 100 residents to every 1 square metre of park, that's a very high ratio that means you have few parks.) Is this the case? -- Montrealais

Hmmm I didn't write that line, but somehow I doubt that it was meant that way. They probably meant the opposite. Not that I'm sure of the opposite either. I guess there *are* quite a few parks, but there are lots in Toronto, Montreal, even New York, Boston... moink 21:46, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I live in Burnaby, and I can tell you that there's a lot of parkspace. We have large chunks of park land on the Western side of Burnaby (Central Park) and an even larger chunk in central Burnaby (Deer Lake, Burnaby Lake. Carson . Talk 29 June 2005 21:09 (UTC)

I also live in Burnaby, and on a Gr. 5 field trip, I seem to recall the mayor saying that burnaby has a lot of parks, and he stated a statistic that I can't remember supporting that. I'll look on the Burnaby website to see if there's anything there. 24.84.101.16 06:30, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually no wish to edit as ratios escape me. (lol) Not much on Burnaby History posted and wonder where all the anecdotes, musings and historical family diaries and things are??

Check out http://www.clydesdalestreet.blogspot.com

Humerous period of time on the Highway entrance to the Highway #1 just off Boundary Road. There must be stories like this somewhere. Perhaps the Library's keep historical references that are not necessarily official but just diaries and diatribe. Wondering.

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure they only have city archives, and they're all at McGill. Side note: we need to find that 'tree' logo of Burnaby and put it on the page. Carson Talk 29 June 2005 20:53 (UTC)

Are you sure burnaby still has farms, it would seem to me that it wouldn't because a) seem unlikely and b)I looked on google aerth and could see no farms near burnaby, ok I looked again, just now, it seems that there is apporx. 2 farms in burnaby with about 4 fields. Is this land part of the ALR does anyone know?

Hi everyone, How can I add Burnwood-Montecito to the list of Bby neighbourhoods? Editing doesn't seem to work. It is NOT part of Westridge, they are distictly different. Thy - FP

Demonym

Anyone know the demonym for Burnaby residents? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.155.165.37 (talk) 23:46, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Might just be me and my circle, but we usually just refer to ourselves as Vancouverites. Haven't ever heard a demonym for Burnaby residents specifically. --24.87.60.211 (talk) 22:42, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rename page

The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was move.

Rename: Burnaby, British Columbia → Burnaby

This is the primary use of the term "Burnaby". The only other reference not related to the city in the first 250 hits of an internet search is to 1800s author Frederick Burnaby. The undisambiguated page redirects to the city. Mindmatrix 19:22, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support as nominator. Mindmatrix 19:22, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support per CANSTYLE and most widely used. -Royalguard11(T·R!) 20:56, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support per CANSTYLE and per nom. DigitalC (talk) 03:22, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support as per the naming convention and primary usage. Since the 19th century author, if he were ever to become subject to an article, is not a candidate to ever to be moved to the plain Burnaby title, it does not give rise to a need for disambiguation.

Korea Town

Please someone create an article about koreatown on north road, because the local paper says it is the largest koreatown in north america, and there is no information about it on wikipedia
