The municipality of Burnaby received its charter of incorporation on September 22, 1892. Burnaby, which has always been home to the Coast Salish peoples, is located on the ancestral and unceded homelands of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh speaking peoples. We are grateful for the opportunity to be in this territory.
The earliest known human occupation of the Lower Fraser Valley dates to approximately 10, 000 years ago, shortly after the retreat of the last glaciers. However, the present configuration of the Fraser River and the height of sea levels didn't stabilize until at least 5, 000 years ago, creating the unique landforms and lush native vegetation of Burnaby.
The ancestors of several local Coast Salish Nations peoples utilized many locations around Burnaby as seasonal food gathering and campsites throughout the year and as sites for family gatherings and cultural or spiritual activities.
