Contributor: City of Burnaby

Place of Publication: Burnaby, BC

Publisher: City of Burnaby

Publication Date: [1961]

Subjects: Government - Local Government; Public Services - Municipal Services

Notes: In 1958, the Corporation of the District of Burnaby embarked on an address re-numbering project. Burnaby's new address system was a numerical continuation of the Vancouver system. The project included East Burnaby which had previously worked off of the New Westminster address system. This was problematic due to the diagonal grid system that New Westminster and East Burnaby was based off of.; The project was completed in two phases: From 1958 to 1959, and 1960 to 1961.
