Community Resilience<br />
Goal: <strong>Burnaby</strong> will be a resilient community, able to adapt and thrive in<br />
times <strong>of</strong> change.<br />
Why set this goal?<br />
The past two decades have brought unprecedented change and all<br />
indications are that the pace <strong>of</strong> change can only accelerate. Resilience is<br />
about a community’s ability to adapt, recover and continue to prosper when<br />
faced with unexpected social, economic or environmental trends or events.<br />
<strong>Burnaby</strong>’s citizens, organizations and institutions need the collective capacity<br />
to respond to and influence the course <strong>of</strong> change. As a resilient community,<br />
<strong>Burnaby</strong> will be strengthened by a spirit <strong>of</strong> shared positive action and cooperation,<br />
fired by a creative and innovative mindset that supports and is<br />
supported by a flourishing economy and environment.<br />
