The City of Burnaby has quickly gained an international reputation as both a desirable place to live, and “the hotspot” for a variety of high technology and light industry companies. Burnaby’s business success highlights the quality of the community and civic infrastructure. Access to the universities and a highly trained labour force has allowed this municipality a distinct advantage over many others. The City of Burnaby has made a large commitment to protecting the natural environment and providing parks and open spaces for all to enjoy. In addition, providing high quality community services and facilities has made Burnaby a very desirable, safe, and healthy community to live, work, and play.
The Edmonds/Highgate areas within the City of Burnaby are experiencing a vibrant revival and are poised to become some of the most dynamic and forward thinking areas in Burnaby and the Greater Vancouver area. Many young single professionals and young families are now calling the Edmonds/Highgate areas home. The dominant age group in these areas is the 25 to 34 year old category which in itself speaks volumes to sense of rebirth of these up and coming neighbourhoods. However, diversity seems to be the word to best describe these areas as it almost a 50/50 split between people born in Canada and an immigrant population. The diversity extends further when one examines the breakdown of the place of birth of this immigrant population. Five different countries make up 50% of this population and over 20 other countries make up the balance. Truly these neighbourhoods seem to define the cultural diversity of which Canada has reason to be so proud!
