A large group of baton-swirling majorettes marches down Hastings Avenue in North Burnaby. Cars are parked against the curb, leaving two wide lines for the parade.

Last day for the TransLink survey! 🚍 "The demand for better transit is already here," says a 20-year Heights resident. Option 1 = better access to housing & businesses. Option 2 = thousands left behind. Link in bio to have your say! #BurnabyHeights #TransitJustice
