A day in the garden: help Benjamin in Burnaby
Garden rescue day in Burnaby: bring gloves and a rake.
🇨🇦 Burnaby, British Columbia, CanadaPosted May 17, 2026768 views
I'm 72 and I have lived in this house in Burnaby for 47 years. After the storm in March, two large branches and a fallen fence have blocked the back door and the garden path. I can no longer manage them myself because of arthritis.
The council has told me it will be twelve weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: someone with a chainsaw, plus a few people with rakes and gloves. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Glad we found this place.
