✅ A game-changing business opportunity
✅ Relatable stories from folks just like you

The Province of B.C. has introduced new legislation to help communities like ours build more affordable housing, faster. What does that mean for us? It means new developments, smarter growth near transit, and updated facilities like fire halls, libraries, and even daycares — all supported by new tools like Amenity Cost Charges (ACCs) and Development Cost Charges (DCCs).

Want to learn more? 🤔 The City of New Westminster is inviting residents to a virtual public info session to break it all down — what ACCs and DCCs are, how they impact development, and how they help fund the infrastructure we all rely on.

Expect a short presentation followed by a chance to ask your questions directly. Whether you’re a homeowner, renter, business owner, or just curious about how our city is changing — this is for you!
