“It seems to have been successful in some of the other municipalities, so it’s likely worth having a look at.”
Currently, there’s no timeline for turning this report into a reality. Hurley also says he believes that staff are mainly looking at parks. He was optimistic, however, that if done properly, it could benefit the many Burnaby residents who have been visiting public spaces over the COVID-19 pandemic.

VANCOUVER Mayors in the B.C. health region hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic are challenging each other to boost local vaccination rates. In a friendly competition, mayors across the Fraser Health region are seeing who can achieve certain immunization thresholds – and ultimately community immunity – first. The challenge will mark milestones at the 70, 75 and 80 per cent immunization marks. For now, those measurements will be calculated based on first doses of COVID-19 vaccines. Fraser Health has seen the highest case numbers in our province and it is all hands on deck as we work to provide COVID-19 vaccines to everyone in our region that wants one. As an interconnected region, vaccines are important whether you live in a larger city or a smaller community area,” said Dr. Victoria Lee, president and CEO at Fraser Health, in a news release.
