Planning stage of new temple to be built at 5462 Marine Drive
Work is continuing on the new temple development, which will be built on our existing property at 5462 Marine Drive between the present temple and Marine Way. Since our Preliminary Plan Approval (development permit) was approved by the City of Burnaby, the following milestones have been achieved:
- Architect conceptual plan updates
- Geotechnical subsurface exploration consisting of one shallow auger-hole and two cone penetration tests.
- Arborist reports with extensive tree retention and management
- Structural, Civil, and Electrical engineering and many more trades have been retained.
- Code Consultation has been added to the project
We are all immensely grateful to our architects Jadurani Devi Dasi and Omkara Dasa Sharma who are providing their skills, experience and expertise as seva (voluntary service)

ISKCON is delighted to share the latest developments on our upcoming state-of-the-art Mandir (temple) at our existing 9-acre compound in Burnaby.
