The Burnaby Lake Park Association was founded in 1972* and has been an active volunteer organization leading stewardship activities that preserve, restore, and protect Burnaby Lake Regional Park’s ecological integrity. They connect people with nature through habitat restoration and enhancement such as their invasive species removal program Weedbusters and Nestbox Monitoring, education and outreach in the community. The BLPA is an advocate for environmentally responsible management of Burnaby Lake Regional Park to ensure it is a legacy for future generations. We work in conjunction with Metro Vancouver Regional Parks Interpreters to help people discover the great outdoors!
The BLPA acknowledges that our work is situated on the the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh speaking peoples. We offer immense gratitude and thanks to the nations and the Indigenous peoples who have long been protectors of the lands and the waters that house and nourish us and allow us to do this work to restore and protect Burnaby Lake Regional Park.
