In 2020, the City of Burnaby launched its first Community Safety Plan. We're updating the plan to continue achieving our vision of a safer Burnaby for all. This update focuses on the issues that matter most to everyone who lives, works or plays in Burnaby: a safe, welcoming, and inclusive community. As part of this effort, we will also develop a gang violence prevention strategy.

There will be many opportunities for community engagement including interactive pop-ups in July and August at various City facilities and public spaces. We’ll also be hosting Community Solution Sessions for everyone to share ideas and develop solutions for enhancing community safety. Stay tuned for time and place details for the Community Solution Sessions, as well as an opportunity to RSVP in the coming weeks.

Recognizing the importance of integrating Indigenous Peoples’ perspectives into our civic planning, we will be engaging with the host Nations on whose traditional, ancestral and unceded territory the City of Burnaby is located on, as well as Indigenous Peoples living in Burnaby. We will be engaging to discuss the City’s ongoing Community Safety Plan Update and incorporating Indigenous Peoples feedback and input into the plan.

We want to hear from you! Take the survey below or attend upcoming events to tell us your experience and help us update the Community Safety Plan.
