Burnaby is the second most populous city in British Columbia, Canada, after Vancouver and Surrey. It covers 90.61 sq km (34.98 sq mi) and has a population of 223,000 people (2012 estimate). It is also the 20th most populous city in the country.
Burnaby was named after explorer Robert Burnaby, who surveyed the area in 1859. Its proximity to Vancouver and New Westminster helped fuel its growth in its early decades. It originally served as farm country serving the nearby cities. Today it has developed into an urban area. It has the largest shopping mall in British Columbia, the Metropolis at Metrotown.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
