They’ll even get to create their own versions of Griff!

City of Burnaby Surveys Reminder: It is time to start looking ahead and planning for our Community programs for the 2026-27 school year. Your feedback is so valuable in this process so we are asking all families to take a few minutes to complete the afterschool survey (as well as the preschool survey if you have children not yet school aged) by May 15th. Please don’t hesitate to reach out directly to me as well if you have any feedback to share in regards to recreation programming in your community.
Thanks so much,
