This morning, Mawlana Hazar Imam met with the Mayor of Burnaby, His Worship Derek Corrigan at City Hall. During the meeting, Mayor Corrigan announced the gifting of a 15-acre piece of land to Mawlana Hazar Imam on the occasion of his Golden Jubilee.
The land, situated adjacent to the Burnaby Lake Regional Park, is a wildlife sanctuary that surrounds a body of water that was carved out by glaciers. It is one of Metro Vancouver’s premier sites for bird watching — an ideal locale for spotting great blue herons, bald eagles, belted kingfishers, ospreys and even rare species such as the green-backed heron.
