Save the date: State of the City luncheon

What’s happening?

Join the who’s who of Burnaby in toasting in the city and the year to come at the annual State of the City luncheon hosted by the Burnaby Board of Trade. Guest of honour and Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan will make his annual presentation on what residents can expect from the city in the coming months.

Why should I go?

It’s a great opportunity to hear about what the city is up to this year and what they have planned for the future from the mayor himself.

“Known for his humour, candour and passion for Burnaby, this luncheon with Mayor Corrigan is a highlight event on the (board of trade’s) calendar,” notes an event write-up.

In recent years, Corrigan’s speeches have focused on development projects around the city and the growing town centres – Lougheed, Brentwood, Metrotown and Edmonds. Considering development continues to boom in Burnaby, you can bet it’ll be mentioned once again.

OK, give me the details.  

The luncheon is happening at the Delta Hotel and Conference Centre, 4331 Dominion St., from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
