To mark International Year of the Volunteer, the Regional Parks Forum offers Super Saturday 2001, an educational opportunity for volunteers involved in the region's parks. Sun Burnaby Lake Christmas Nature Walk Enjoy a guided nature walk along the park's forest trails to uncover winter wildlife. Learn about the challenges faced by overwintering birds, discover how frogs face the cold, then return to the Nature House for refreshments. Park Association volunteers will be on hand to answer questions about the amazing natural history of Burnaby Lake. Meet at the Nature House, at the end of Piper Avenue, south of Winston Street.
Partners do much more than deliver public programs.
They organize stewardship and educational activities, operate fish hatcheries, restore sensitive habitats, manage park visitor centres, raise funds for heritage building restoration, and increase public awareness about important park issues. Partners work closely with GVRD Parks' staff to provide advice, resolve issues and support initiatives. Park Associations exist in a number of regional parks. They are looking for volunteers to support or lead projects and work with staff on park management issues. Contact the GVRD Parks Community Development Coordinator responsible for the regional park in your community.
