Truth: Does it rain all the time? Actually, over half of all days (54% to be exact) in Burnaby and New Westminster have no precipitation at all.  And for those days with rain?  A walk in the rain can be quite pleasant with a good umbrella and rain gear.  Burnaby and New Westminster do not often have very cold or very hot temperatures that may make walking uncomfortable.  Cold, crisp days can be great for a walk (if you dress warmly), as active walking groups in much colder winter cities such as Edmonton and Ottawa can attest to.
