## Resource

Canada’s iconic Snowbirds will be grounded following the 2026 flying season until new aircraft arrive. The Business Improvement Areas of British Columbia and the New Car Dealers Association of BC say the planned expansion of the PST to essential services is effectively punishes businesses. One of Burnaby’s best-known arts venues is facing an uncertain future. The Michael J. Fox Theatre will no longer be available for community bookings after June 30, with the Burnaby School District citing financial pressures. Learn more about your ad choices.
