The City of Burnaby, following the guidance of the BC Restart plan and based on current information available, anticipates fully reopening city hall to the public on Sept. 7.

The city said in a news release that the full reopening of city hall will allow for drop-in visitors and the option for the public to attend council and committee meetings, as well as public hearings, in person.

Residents currently can watch council meetings online live or in a recorded version that is posted on the city’s website the day after each meeting. People are able to participate in public hearings online. 

Since June 2, Burnaby residents have been able to pay their property taxes in person at city hall and book in-person visits on an appointment-only basis.

“These two options will continue to be available until city hall fully reopens in September,” the city said. “The city will continue to be guided in its reopening decisions by the province’s BC Restart plan.”

Further updates about the resumption of city services and programs will be posted at Burnaby.ca.
