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.

Burnabio PCN Socialinės izoliacijos darbo grupė (SIWG) atlieka bendruomenės tyrimus, kuriuose aiškinasi, kaip padidinti socialinį ryšį Burnabyje COVID-19 pandemijos metu ir vėliau, kad būtų galima vadovautis Burnabio psichikos sveikatos strategija.

Tyrimo rezultatai leido SIWG suprasti, kaip Burnabio bendruomenės organizacijos gali spręsti susisiekimo kliūčių problemą ir kaip remdamosi bendruomenės narių aptartomis galimybėmis jos gali kurti novatoriškus ir tvarius sprendimus.
