When I saw this headline I got a little agitated. I thought it meant long-term passes, which Iā€™m sure many of us long standing Burnaby residents would love if they were a bit more affordable. Then I read on to see that they were referring to single-use leisure passes, which I agree with 100 per cent. What a great way to help refugees feel a bit more welcome to the community and to be introduced to the facilities available to them.
