Photograph of a basketball court in Montecito Park with coloured chalk drawings with hearts and the words "Thank you!!" and "Stay Safe!". These messages were created in support of public health workers during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in British Columbia. The basketball court was closed down along with other parks by the City of Burnaby in the spring of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and public health orders. The shadow of the photographer is visible in the foreground.
History
Tristan Johnson took photos around Burnaby because as a parent of two elementary school aged children during the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the most notable things about COVID-19 during Spring 2020 was the closure of playgrounds and the playgrounds being taped up.
The Cascade-Schou neighbourhood, sometimes referred to as the Cascade Heights area, includes both the Burnaby General Hospital site, the Discovery Park facilities and is bordered on its eastern boundary by BCIT. Despite these health and science developments, the neighbourhood can still be considered to be a residential community. The housing stock includes single family homes as well as newer multi-family residences that developed throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
