Burnaby named the best run city in Canada!

The City of Burnaby was named the best run city in Canada in the first annual MacLean's magazine survey of municipal governments.

According to the article, Burnaby rated #1 overall and scored top marks in environmental health, recreation and culture and economic development.

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan and his team of BCA Councillors are heaping praise on the city's administrative staff, volunteers and the citizens of Burnaby for their contributions in the effectiveness of local municipal government. In an article published in the Burnaby Now, Corrigan stated, "I'm thrilled for our city staff. They work very hard. But I don't want our volunteers to be missed," noting that city committees have volunteer members serving on them, on top of the many events and activities that volunteers assist in. "We wouldn't have been successful if it wasn't for the help and advice from citizens over the years. It's a credit to our staff, it's also a credit to the people of Burnaby."
