Save the date: Wednesday, Aug. 10.
Why?
Because the Burnaby Neighbourhood House is hosting its annual street party and open house from 4 to 7:30 p.m. It’s also a great opportunity to meet your neighbours.
What’s happening?
A strip of Beresford Street will be shut down in front of the neighbourhood house. Event highlights include a bouncy castle, face painting, cotton candy, games, music and displays featuring local businesses and partner organizations. There will also be tours of the facility, so you can learn about the neighbourhood house and some of the programs they run.
Who goes to this?
Residents, young and old. Everyone is invited, and past years have drawn families and seniors who participate in the neighbourhood house programs. Some partner organizations that share the building with the neighbourhood house will be there, hosting different activities. People can find out what services they offer, too.
What about food?
The neighbourhood house is famous for low-cost community barbecues, and this event is the grand finale for the summer. Three dollars will get you chips, pop and a hot dog. We’re told there will also be a food truck on site.
