Welcome to the NewsLeader’s A-List.This summer, we put the call out to
readers, in the form of a survey, asking residents to name some of their favourite shops and services in the city.
The list includes restaurants— with everything from best place for beers on tap, best wine list and best place for fish and chips—to where to get a great facial, a top-notch mechanic, a deal on a used car, or stylish clothes.
It may not be a precise, scientific survey,
but it’s a great way to get a sense of some of the great businesses that are worth visiting in Burnaby.
It will also give you a good start when you’re looking to buy something special, or that expert advice when you’re in need.
If anything, I hope the A-List gives you an even greater appreciation for all the amazing offerings in this city.
Congratulations to all who made this year’s A-List!
—Chris Bryan, Editor
Welcome to the A-ListA baby enjoys some of the sights at the Burnaby Farmers Market, located at City Hall.

WE ASKED: What makes Burnaby great?
Manny Sobral back in 2009 in the old
Burnaby Boxing Club, just before
it was demolished. Sobral boxed in the
1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea.
Burnaby Village Museum! A unique place for kids and families to learn about history, in an interactive, open and fun environment where children can really appreciate the history of their land as well as to have fun with all the dynamic activities, enjoy nature and ice/cream and carousel ride.
What a fantastic way to bond with the family, with the culture and with the history of our land!
Manny Sobral
• • • • •
When the World Police and Fire Games Board came to our city to inspect our facilities for our bid to host the 2009 Games they said our sports facilities were the best they had ever encountered. We had set
the standard. It was a great endorsement
and we are the envy of many for what we can provide in the way of said facilities. And, now, with the addition of the new Edmonds Community Centre and rumour has it a few more improvements to other sites, we stand out as a great place to enjoy first-class sporting events on first class facilities.

The green space, Burnaby Lake being a particular jewel. Our recycling program is also impressive, and I’m happy to see the city developing an Environmental Sustainability Strategy.

When I became Officer-In-Charge of the Burnaby RCMP and a Burnaby resident, my family couldn’t wait to explore the city. What makes Burnaby
great for me are the people I’ve come to know and admire through my volunteer activities with the Rotarians and the amazing volunteers we have with us at Burnaby RCMP. My wife Debra and I also
enjoy visiting the city’s extraordinary parks like Deer Lake and taking part in the cultural recreational activities.

Nestled in Burnaby Heights, Burgers Etc. BBQ House has been serving the areas most loved burgers and BBQ since 2005.
A steady stream of blues music plays throughout the day, and an assortment of old instruments and musical art adorn the walls of the cozy 25 seat restaurant.
Owner Calvin Lévesque prepares an assortment of BBQ meats daily with a homemade rub before smoking the items in-house. The meats, ranging from Ribs, Chicken, Sausage, Pulled Pork, and Beef Brisket, are then finished on the grill with a tangy, handcrafted BBQ sauce. Not sure which one you want to try? Come with a friend and share the ETC. Sampler. With generous servings of each smoked meat, the platter also comes with fries, and your choice of two delicious sides including coleslaw, potato salad, or the daily homemade soup.
The burger is a ground Angus steak patty prepared in-house daily, and served medium well. The 6oz. burger can be customized to a guest’s taste with add-ons such as: mushrooms, sautéed onions, banana peppers, a fried egg, and the go-to favourite, cheese and bacon. Chicken burgers are also available, served grilled, BBQ, or spicy.

Janice Ho is Burnaby Neighhbourhood House’s Community Development Coordinator at the BNH’s new North Burnaby (Hastings) location at 4463 Hastings St. She’s been on the job since last December, but used to work for BNH nine years ago and is loving being back.
1. Can you tell us a little about what you do?
My role is to connect with different organizations and individuals living in the North Burnaby area and identify needs and gaps in services and programs. Because we’re just starting out, I also manage the of� ce and volunteers in our location.
2. What’s the best part
of your job?
I love meeting people and connecting them to other people, organizations, services, and programs and then continue to see them
participating in various programs as participants or as a volunteer.
3. Have there been any surprises?
Every time I come into work it’s a surprise. I never know who will walk through our door or who I will meet that day.

We aSKeD: What makes Burnaby great?What makes Burnaby great? The fabulous living sculptures situated around the city;
carousel horses by City Hall, eagles by the Bill Copeland rink, the permanent dragon on Cameron Street. They all bring a smile to my face every time I see them.

Really simple: The people. The multicultural faces of the thousands of people who claim Burnaby as their home. Each brings passion, the love of sport, culture, family whatever the size. The faces and actions tell it all.

We have a local government who supports Mother Gaia, as demonstrated by BCA’s objection to destruction of conservation lands by a corporation that only cares about profits, not the planet. Nothing makes me feel happier than knowing that as long as our
leaders care and have integrity, we are safe from harm. I trust more communities will follow suit.
Esther Harrison

One thing that makes Burnaby great is that many of our political leaders/representatives are so engaged in speaking about local concerns and taking whatever action they can (e.g. Kinder
Morgan pipeline) to represent our collective interests.
Patrick Smith
WE ASKED: What makes Burnaby great?Former city councillor Gary Begin says it’s the diversity of people that makes this city great.
