The Burquitlam Community Association is looking for new members.
The organization, which was founded in 1999 and serves as an advocacy group for the rapidly developing neighbourhood, will hold a meet and greet at Burquitlam Plaza on May 14 and is inviting interested residents to participate.
Danae Parker, the executive director of the BCA, said the event will be an opportunity for people to learn about the association and its accomplishments.
She added that over the years, the group has lobbied for its own community police station, a community garden and increased traffic and pedestrian safety along the Clarke Road corridor. The group is also well-known for its all-candidates meetings which it holds at election time for all levels of government.
The meet and greet will be held in the breezeway on the south side of the Value Village at Burquitlam Plaza on May 14 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. For more information about the Burquitlam Community Association go to www.burquitlam.org.
