🌞 A Burnaby service provider says she has the setup needed to operate a cooling centre for the coming heatwave but nowhere to put it.

@dustinrgodfrey has the story in today's burnabybeacon.com newsletter.

1/4

2/ Carol-Ann Flanagan, with the Society to End Homelessness in Burnaby, told Burnaby Beacon in May that she wanted to run a pop-up cooling centre in cases of extreme heat. Now, she said she has the supplies she needs, but hasn’t had any luck finding a spot for it.

3/ "It’s been crazy. We have put out asks all over the place, and we can’t find a location to set up. There are no parking spaces available for us to set up. We can’t use any of the Burnaby park areas. A lot of the churches have other things going," Flanagan said.

Mayor Mike Hurley says the city will not be going ahead with its original plans for the Canada Day, instead working with local First Nations on something with 'more of a reflective tone.'

@dustinrgodfrey has the story in today's burnabybeacon.com newsletter.

1/4

2/ Hurley told the Beacon that, following growing calls to cancel Canada Day events in response to the discovery of the unmarked graves of 215 children in Kamloops, the city has started on new plans for July 1 in consultation with local First Nations.

3/ “Tsleil-Waututh will be joining us to assist us with [Canada Day plans],” Hurley said. “That’s still being planned with the nations, but it’ll be more of a reflective tone than anything else. So it’s a very knocked-down version of what would have happened.”
