Colleen Rennison, lead singer of Vancouver blues band No Sinner, kicked off this year’s Burnaby Blues + Roots festival at Deer Lake Park. The annual festival was chosen as one of Burnaby’s favourite community events of the year.

Mario Bartel Newsleader

Welcome to the NewsLeader’s A-List. This summer, we put the call out to readers, in the form of a survey, asking residents to name some of their favourite things in the city.

The list includes restaurants—with everything from best place for brunch, best wine list and best place for late night eats—to where to get a great haircut, a

deal on a used car, or vintage clothes.

It may not be a precise, scientific survey, but it’s a great way to get a good sense of some of the great businesses that are worth visiting in Burnaby, and

some of the great attractions this city has to offer, such as Burnaby Lake and Fraser Foreshore Park.

If anything, the A-List will help you appreciate the amazing offerings in this city.

Congratulations to all who made this year’s A-List.

—Chris Bryan, Editor

We understand that moving from a long-time family home can be a heart-

wrenching experience, at any age. Yet when our new residents settle in and see how

much they have gained in the way of comfort, friendship, services and amenities

of a luxurious resort, they begin to realize that the most important aspect of their

move is that they kept their dignity, self-respect and freedom of choice. All things

considered, it’s what you can't put a price on that we value most.
