This resource provides the Indigenous history for many parts of the city of Burnaby. Students often learn about the history of their province in a wide scope but there are limited resources available for their local environment. Growing up and now teaching in Burnaby, it was very interesting learning about the history of my city in a different lens and seeing how the land of each of the different regions in Burnaby was used. Hopefully this type of resource becomes more popular with the other cities as it would be very interesting to learn about the history of those areas as well!

This is wonderful, Juiano! I appreciate how these resources have collections of “intangible heritage” to illustrate the cultural history of Burnaby. The Burnaby Village Museum also boasts an interactive map, which is enjoyed exploring: everything from train stations to shops are showcased. Thank you for sharing!
