Community Profiles
Service Canada Centre Burnaby encompasses the land and populations within the municipalities of Burnaby and New Westminster, as well as Southeast and East Vancouver. The City of Burnaby 
is situated in the centre of the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) on the Burrard Peninsula between Vancouver to the west and New Westminster and Coquitlam to the east. The City of New Westminster is located in the centre of the GVRD along the north banks of the Fraser River. Situated on a hillside overlooking the Fraser River, New Westminster views the Golden Ears Mountains to the East, Mount Baker to the Southeast and the Fraser River Estuary to the Southwest. Within the City of Vancouver, anything east of Main Street as far as Boundary Road (before Burnaby) is termed "East Side". This residential area is mostly blue collar with smaller homes and large immigrant populations. A recent influx of young professionals with families is resulting in the establishment of more upscale retail shops and cafes to streets like Main Street between 25th and 31st Avenues, Fraser between 41st and 54th, and Commercial Drive between 1st and 12th. While the East Side as a whole is becoming an eclectic mix of lower income and middle class, it is also home to one of the most impoverished communities in North America, the Downtown East Side.
