Burnaby resident Gordon World wants the right to legally keep chickens in his yard, and he will be speaking to the Burnaby Mayor and City Council Monday April 7th at 7:00 p.m. It is currently legal to keep chickens in Burnaby, but only on larger lots.
Please write to Burnaby’s Mayor and City Councilors, and ask them to legalize chickens on ALL residential Burnaby lots. Please let these folks know all of the reasons that backyard poultry are a good idea, and please reassure them that our hens can easily be cared for properly, and in a good-neighborly fashion. Please support us at the meeting, too, if you can.
Thank you for your support!

Feel free to attend council meeting if you would like. If you would like to appear before council yourself please email Blanka.Zeinabova@burnaby.ca
If you have any press connections who you think would like to cover the story, I would be happy to speak with them but simply don’t have much time to pursue them myself. -Gordon World
Thank you Everyone!

So what was the outcome of this presentation to council? I asked Burnaby’s bylaw people & they advised that only agricultural zoned lots are allowed to have chickens, not R2 lots like mine. Cheers!
