Apple's Planet

Apple's Spring 2007 in Burnaby

Burnaby is a maturing and increasingly integrated community, which is centrally located within a rapidly growing metropolitan area.

Burnaby's characteristic has shifted from rural to suburban to largely urban. Still, Burnaby's ratio of park land to residents is one of the highest in North America, and it maintains some agricultural land, particularly along the Fraser foreshore flats in the Big Bend neighbourhood along its southern perimeter.

Overall, the physical landscape of Burnaby is one of hills, ridges, valleys and an alluvial plain. The land features and their relative locations have had an influence on the location, type and form of development in the City.

It is Situated between the City of Vancouver on the west and Port Moody, Coquitlam, and the New Westminster on the east. The City is further bounded by Burrard Inlet and the Fraser River on the North and South respectively.

Burnaby, Vancouver and New Westminster collectively occupy the major portion of the Burrard Peninsula. The elevation of Burnaby ranges from sea level to a maximum of 370 metres (1,200 ft) atop Burnaby Mountain.
