Burnaby is located in the heart of the greater Vancouver area, with easy access to downtown Vancouver, the North Shore Mountains to the west, Whistler to the north and the Vancouver International Airport just 20 minutes south from the city centre.

Thanks to this central location, plus a superb public transportation system that includes the SkyTrain –the world’s longest, automated, light-rapid transit system – Burnaby has grown to become BC’s third largest city.  Burnaby is a full-fledged, sparkling city in its own right. It is home to world-renowned Simon Fraser University as well as Metropolis at Metrotown, BC’s largest shopping complex. It has also become one of the province’s key high-tech research hubs.

Burnaby's mild, west coast climate combined with its many natural features and diverse range of parks and open spaces are key defining features of the City. Major sports facilities, golf courses, bicycle and walking trails, urban plazas and botanical gardens are also an integral part of Burnaby's physical landscape.
