Moved to Vancouver recently, tell me which one or combination of ones is this part of Burnaby?

  • Law-feed
  • Low-weed
  • Loog-heed
  • Luffy (the Straw hat pirate)-d
  • Luffy (Like Fluffy without an F)-d
  • Lao-heed

Thanks for your help!

Sounds like Lowheed is the one that won out.

I moved here two years ago. My tactic for initial pronunciation lessons has been to ride the SkyTrain and adopt the pronunciations used for station announcements.

Based on that, it's "LOW-heed"
