Kwasen Village will be a fully imagined community with 40 acres of residences, parks, local shops, specialty grocers, and so much more.

Derived from the Henqeminemm language, Kwasen, meaning "star," holds particular significance for the Musqueam and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. Historically, stars served as vital wayfinding tools and sources of spiritual guidance for these Indigenous communities as they navigated the vast landscapes over centuries. In the contemporary context, Kwasen takes on a new meaning as it becomes the guiding star of Burnaby - an emblematic symbol representing inspiration for future generations of artists, thinkers, and families of all sizes. Kwasen Village stands as 'A Burnaby Original' community, weaving a narrative that honors the rich cultural heritage while paving the way for the community's bright future.
