Thanks to Paul McDonell, four bright and cheerful murals have been installed on building walls along Edmond Street in Burnaby. Paul is a life-long volunteer within his community and has come to be known as “Mr. Burnaby”. Chair of the Burnaby Parks and Recreation Commission, member of the Edmonds City Fair Committee, Edmonds Town Centre Business and Community Association and the Spirit of Edmonds committee, Paul has made a significant difference. Paul is especially active connecting with Burnaby’s new immigrants and refugees. If a request is made which benefits Burnaby, Paul will be there with tremendous energy and enthusiasm.
