Good to know
By the numbers for this age in Burnaby: 38 dated listings in the next 60 days; 10 fall on a weekend and 0 start in the evening (the pyjama-storytime slot); the busiest single venue is Tommy Douglas with 16 of them.
Why this looks familiar: most of these programs — storytime is the big one — span ages 1–3 to 3–5, so the same sessions appear on the toddler page too. That's the library's age range, not a mix-up; where a program is only for this age, it shows only here.
Free, as marked in the feed: Family Storytime, 廣東話故事時間 | Cantonese Storytime for Toddlers, ትግርኛ ዛንታ | Tigrinya Storytime, Hora do conto | Portuguese Storytime. Those listings carry a free tag in Burnaby's own event data — everything else here, check the listing link for the price before you promise anyone.
