In 1992, at its 20th anniversary celebration, a time capsule was created by students to remain sealed until its opening in 2012. At the 40th Anniversary Reunion, held on Friday, November 23, 2012, the time capsule was unsealed. Burnsview suffered a fire in the summer of 1997, in which a whole school wing was destroyed. The rebuilding took over a year. The school was part of the Delta School District's reconfiguration project, and accepted Grade 11 students in 2005 and Grade 12 students in 2006.

In 1995, the student body managed to increase donations to $12,000, and sent this money to Rwanda. Students also gave up junk food for three weeks to add to their collection totals. The total money raised placed Burnsview as the second top fundraising school in Canada, just behind Collingwood School.
