Burnaby 2021

WELCOME TO OUR ANNUAL A-LIST CELEBRATION!

But we’ve managed to come together, as always, to show our hometown pride by lifting each other up.

Burnaby Now has taken a leadership role with this community renewal and we are proud of our ties to this wonderful community.

INSIDE:

7 11 19 21 22

The past year has been a struggle for our residents, businesses and organizations in Burnaby.

Food & Drink

We also continued to sponsor local events, and tell the stories that are important to our readers.

Health, Fitness & Beauty Local Hotspots Media, Art & Entertainment Shops & Services

For this A-List edition, we heard from our business leaders about how they made a difference.

They told us about their valuable work.

They told us about their favourite things to do — and places to go — in Burnaby, and why they love to call this slice of Metro Vancouver their home.

And they told us what it means for them to be chosen for the A-List, an annual publication based on our readers’ online votes.

They are humbled and honoured by your generosity and thank you for continuing to patronize their businesses.

In turn, they’ve also paid it forward.

By staying closer to home we are discovering how to help our neighbours, businesses and charities become better and stronger.

The Burnaby Now congratulates our A-List winners and finalists — from those who have been in our publication year after year to the newcomers and emerging entrepreneurs.

We encourage you to keep our A-List magazine handy and refer to it often.

Burnaby 2020. Your City. Your Favourites.

YOUR CITY. YOUR FAVOURITES.

SCOTT PEARCE GARDENWORKS

What does it mean to you and your business to be an A-List recipient?

We are absolutely delighted to be included on the A-List. We are grateful to have been trusted with the opportunity, each day for the past 37 years, to make positive & meaningful contributions to our community and to the lives of Burnaby residents.

What other Burnaby businesses do you frequent?

I can find almost anything I need right here in Burnaby, without having to go too far afield! I’ll go for coffee and a pastry at Café Divano, or grab a pizza at Cotto up on Hastings. There are so many fantastic places to grab a bite in the Heights, but my most recent discovery is Peaked Pies. Over the years we’ve had great Christmas parties at the Executive Inn, and at Hart House as well. Finally, I do enjoy having Whole Foods just down the road at Brentwood – lots of great grocery alternatives, not to mention that my daughter works there!

How do you give back to the community?

We consider ourselves very fortunate, and embrace opportunities to give back. We support many small grass roots initiatives by donating plants and garden supplies

Burnaby 2021

to schools and community groups. Each year we partner with Meadowlands Horticultural, also a Burnaby business, to grow and sell “Summer Spirit” hanging baskets to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society. Over the past 10 years we’ve contributed more than $120,000. This year we’ll be contributing $20,000! We recently got together with Paraspace Landscaping, Steamworks Brewing, and members of the BCLNA to create an urban greenspace on an empty lot at the corner of Williams and Douglas Street.

We are really looking forward to seeing how the garden matures!

What are your favourite things to do in Burnaby?

There are so many great places to enjoy a quiet walk or a short hike right here in Burnaby – my favourites are Foreshore park, Burnaby Lake and Burnaby Mountain.

The rose garden at Burnaby Mountain is simply an added bonus. I love my craft beer - Steamworks, Dageraad and Studio Brewing are all fantastic! And it’s great two have two pitch and putt golf courses so close to home!

Where is your favourite place to go in Burnaby?

Deer Lake Park - anytime there’s a concert. Sometimes I’ll just grab some gelato at Nuvola Gelato on Hastings and head to Barnet Marine Park for a walk, and to watch all the dogs romp around together!

Gardenworks is a collection of B.C.-owned community garden centres, with two very unique locations in Burnaby. We offer a wide selection of beautiful plants, garden supplies, pottery & home décor as well as expert advice. It is our passion to create an inspired experience for our guests. We connect guests to nature, to growing beauty and harmony in gardens, homes and communities. Connecting people to our natural world, we inspire our guests to create greener, healthier and more vibrant communities.

How do you give back to the community?

We support the community through donations to not for profits. Sometimes it is with cash and other times it is with product. We also actively participate with the Burnaby Board of Trade, Heights Merchants and Baking Association, etc. to give back and help small businesses in the community.

What are your favourite things to do in Burnaby?

Burnaby has great trails for walking and biking that I utilize. Burnaby offers much, as a local tourist I love the facilities around Deer Lake.

Where is your favourite place to go in Burnaby?

I can’t think of a favourite place, there are so many. I just became a grandpa so perhaps it will soon be time to visit the carousel and Burnaby Village Museum.
