 The City of
Burnaby, BC, Canada is located in British Columbias lower mainland. In the bottom map to the left Burnaby is
on the left half of the map and is green.
It is immediately east of Vancouver (pink) and northwest of Surrey
(golden yellow).
Burnaby is the
third-largest city in British Columbia behind Vancouver (No.1) and Surrey
(No. 2). Burnaby was incorporated in
1892 and achieved city status in 1992, one hundred years after it
incorporated. Burnaby is also the
host of the Greater Vancouver Regional District (Metro Vancouver).
Burnaby has three
highways running through it. First
is the Trans-Canada Highway-1. This
freeway runs from Victoria to Eastern Canada.
Second, is Highway-1A
(The Fraser Valley Highway). Until
the Trans-Canada Highway was built this was the main highway from Vancouver
to the Fraser Valley and points east.
Thirdly, is
Highway-99A (The King George Highway).
This highway was the main access from Vancouver to the lower 48
states via the border crossing at Blaine, Washington until the Highway-99
freeway was built to connect to Interstate-5 at Blaine.

 Highway-99A
and 1A join together in north Surrey and share the same roadbed through
Burnaby. Highway-99A is a center for
commercial activity its entire length through Burnaby. As you can see in the map Highway-99 (the
freeway) bypasses Burnaby. Please excuse us of leaving highway 1A off of
the map. It splits off 99A in surrey
and roughly follows Highway-1 to the south of it.
