Spring break is coming to an end but there is still plenty to do during the last few days.
We're continuing with our popular feature - our staff's Top 5 (Or More) Things To Do in Burnaby. This week, events range from fun with the kids to romantic candlelit dinners.
1 Get scavenging at the Burnaby Village Museum and Carousel's spring break scavenger hunt, with villains, heroes and quirky characters from classic children's stories.
There are also crafts and live performances, and the Ice Cream Parlour is open for meals and treats.
The event runs on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. There is special event pricing for the spring break activities. For more information, call 604-297-4565.
2 Get saving energy during Earth Hour on Saturday night, from 8: 30 to 9: 30 p.m.
