Dear Editor:
Happy New Year!
I know our elected officials, city and RCMP members and staff are elected or hired to work on our behalf. I believe they are Burnaby community heroes as they so often go over and above what they are elected and hired to do and are such a big part of the City of Burnaby being the great city it is. As the Kingsway Imperial Neighbourhood Association (KINA) looks forward to 2015, we also look forward to 10 years since we formed and during which we have seen our neighbourhood become increasingly welcoming as a community in which to live, work and attend school.
The many volunteers who have joined together "building our community" are Burnaby community heroes who do so much for so many without any expectation of compensation or reward.
For them, may all the positive energy and effort they have put into the lives of others come back into their lives to enjoy and benefit from.
Diane Gillis, president, Kingsway Imperial Neighbourhood Association
