Burnaby events

Not sure what to do with your pumpkins after Halloween? Take them to the Pumpkin Parade in front of the Eileen Dailly Leisure Pool and Fitness Centre on Nov. 1 from 5:30 to 8pm. You can take your jack-o-lantern on one final walk before they are composted by Burnaby’s waste management team afterwards. Lights for pumpkins will be provided.

Address: Eileen Dailly Leisure Pool and Fitness Centre, 240 Willingdon Ave.

Best Life is a performance “inspired by the machines that make our lives better, and ponders the question: “What if these domestic machines could whisper to us the stories of the people they are caring for?” It tells the story of a suburban neighbourhood over a span of 50 years—an origami of everyday objects, building a shared narrative of longing. This intimate and participatory audience experience simultaneously transports you back to the past as well as forward into the distant future. Best Life also asks a much bigger question: “What it is we are leaving behind?” You can watch Best Life from Nov. 2-5 and can buy tickets online.

Address: Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, 6450 Deer Lake Ave.
