Local rivers to be focus of Burnaby celebration

Once each year, communities around the world celebrate their riparian heritage with a day that recognizes the important role rivers play in both the human and natural world. Burnaby will be marking the occasion with an event that will draw attention to local waterways and the creatures that call them home.

The celebration, which will be hosted by Burnaby Village Museum and Carousel, will have a wealth of activities to keep the whole family busy. Admission to the museum and grounds will be free, and rides on the carousel can be purchased for $2.65 each.

The plans for the day include live entertainment, and all ages can learn about rivers and other local waterways by taking part in the hands-on activities. Live demonstrations and displays are also on the agenda, and both the carousel and village will be open for visitors.

By combining learning with fun, and event like this can make a big impact. Making sure the public is aware of when and where it will be held can help ensure it will be well attended, and marketing materials from a printing services company help spread the word to the community.

The 2019 date for Burnaby’s World Rivers Day celebration will be September 22. Guests for the event are welcome to start arriving when the gates open at 11:00 am.
