Although not all sites can accommodate a new stream, the idea of bringing nature back with new development is not a new one in Burnaby. As new areas are developed, we can expect to see more ‘green’ features like native plants, street trees, raingardens, and, in the right place, new and restored habitats like streams and wetlands. - City of Burnaby webpage » Home »City Services » Planning » Environmental Planning » Ecosystem Restoration and Enhancement » Byrne Creek

I signed this petition in hopes of protecting Byrne Creek Forest East's flora and fauna. Regardless, of any projected population growth, we must strongly defend the sanctuary of Byrne Creek Forest East. 

Burnabites need houses and homes. This is true. Just, not at the cost of our precious forest and salmon-bearing creek. 

Thank you, Jack, for your research. I appreciate your argument. I can't emphasize strongly enough, the need to protect and defend Byrne Creek Forest East, from development and housing. May this petition not fall on deaf ears.
