Upcoming Events:
Tourism Challenge!
It is important this summer to get out into your community and explore everything that it has to offer
The Burnaby North Road BIA is participating in the Tourism Challenge as part of the Build Back Tourism 2021 and we are proud and excited to welcome everyone to our amazing neighbourhood.
The Build Back Tourism program, is a seasonal opportunity for staff and volunteers actively working at the attractions, hotels and partner locations to explore local attractions from May 1 – September 30, 2021.
This last year has certainly challenged everyone. All types of businesses and organizations have been critically challenged to come up with winning strategies for survival.
The Tourism & Hospitality industry has been one of the hardest hit. With the roll out of the vaccines well-underway, we hope to soon return to normalcy. Well, whatever the new normal is going to be anyway!
We invite Tourism Challenge participants to explore the North Road BIA area, commonly known as “Korea Town” and “Coffee City.” We have a large number of international restaurants serving amazing food and desserts.
How to earn your North Road BIA stamps:
Take two photos of art installations on North Road. Feel free to post them on social media and tag @northroadbia and use #visitnorthroad to share your experience.
