Celebrate the opening of Burnaby’s newest recreation facility and the legacy of a Burnaby sports pioneer.
You’re invited to join us as we officially open the brand-new lacrosse box at Confederation Park by officially naming it after Sohen Gill, a Burnaby lacrosse legend inducted into the BC Sports Hall of Fame for his contributions to the game as a player, executive, and builder of the game.
The celebration will begin at 11 am and will run until 1 pm, featuring an official dedication ceremony beginning at 11:30, activities for the whole family, and opportunities to play and enjoy the many sports this new facility can host, including:
Lacrosse demonstrations and try-it opportunities for kids curious to give the sport a try
Shoot-around on our basketball courts
Family-friendly performers and entertainment in the plaza area
Much more!
