The Burnaby Primary Care Networks collaborates with community organizations to deliver programs that benefit the health and wellbeing of Burnaby residents.

The Burnaby Community Fridge Program places free food fridges in select locations around Burnaby. Community members are encouraged to take what they need, and leave what they can — helping bring healthy groceries to fellow Burnaby residents.

This is a project of the PCN Food Security Working Group, made possible through partnerships with the Burnaby Youth Hub, Refood, Regal Rotaracts, the SFU Office of Community Engagement, and Embark Sustainability.

Digital literacy skills and access to devices are essential to overall health and well-being, especially during the pandemic when many vital primary care, wellness and social programs and services were offered in virtual settings. The Metrotown PCN, in partnership with Burnaby Public Library, Burnaby Neighbourhood House, and the City of Burnaby, led a campaign to promote digital literacy and to raise awareness of the many and varied technology resources available to Burnaby residents. This includes free access to library computers, in-person and remote one-on-one tech support, digital literacy courses, and more. Select programs promoted through the campaign also were designed to support specific populations and language-speaking groups, such as newcomers to Canada, newcomer women, and adults with developmental disabilities.

연구 결과는 버나비 커뮤니티 조직이 연결성 장벽을 어떻게 해결할 수 있는지, 커뮤니티 구성원들이 혁신적이고 지속 가능한 솔루션을 구상하기 위해 논의한 기회를 어떻게 활용할 수 있는지에 대한 인사이트를 SIWG에 제공했습니다.
