Summer at the Farmers Market is back!

It's official!

In true New Westminster fashion, Thursday kicked off summer season
of The Royal City Farmers Market!

After a long winter and spring it was great to see some fresh vegetables again!

The famous popcorn was also there and we had to buy some of that. Besides tomatoes I also bought potatoes, eggs, peppers(see how many you can fit in a bag for $4), honey, coffee and two plants for my garden.
At the honey booth I was sold on some chocolate hazelnut butter - so good!

I bought a tie pin for my husband made of fused glass from a local artist with a company called DINGOLAY, check out the website! We also had to buy a few sweet treats from the vegan baker! Delicious chocolate chip cupcakes and Nanaimo bars!

The farmers market is held every Thursday from 3-7 pm, beside city hall on 4th street near Tipperary Park and friendship garden (a true hidden gem in the city).

Sapperton/United Blvd. Extension

Traffic is an issue that affects everyone who lives in New Westminster, and in every major city on the planet. Driving, car culture, transportation and infrastructure are the issues that will shape the city's future. If you want to be involved just show up. This is your chance to have a say, and hear about what Translink is planning.

There is another meeting this weekend for the public to come out and give input about the traffic plans for our city.

Discuss the refined concepts

3rd UBE Translink Workshop Tonight!

Traffic affects everyone who lives in a city. In New Westminster traffic is a major issue. Do we need more highways or can we move towards a better public transit system? Streamline the existing infrastructure and create a sustainable future?

Tonight we have an opportunity to have our voices heard and to tell Translink about what direction we want to move our city towards. Come out and have your say!
