The City of Burnaby is looking for a contractor to manage its collection of animatronic dinosaurs, including a triceratops, velociraptor, stegosaurus, pterosaur, and ankylosaurus. The city purchased the dinosaurs in 2021 as part of a pilot project to test interactive attractions in parks. The contractor will be responsible for transporting the dinosaurs to various events throughout the city, such as Canada Day and Burnaby Pride, for educational purposes and community engagement.
