Ready to kick off the new school year with a little country flair? The Boot Scootin' Back to School Bash is bringing music, dancing and plenty of boot-scootin' fun to New Westminster on September 12.

Hosted by Panache Events, the 19+ event promises a lively night for both line-dancing newcomers and experienced dancers. Guests can arrive early to grab a drink and settle in before line-dancing instruction begins at 8 p.m.

Whether you're dusting off your cowboy boots or stepping onto the dance floor for the first time, the evening is all about learning some new moves, having fun and enjoying a night out with friends.

The event runs from 7 to 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 12, at the Royal City Curling Club, 75 East Sixth Avenue.

Tickets are $20 online or $25 at the door, with free parking available.

So grab your friends, channel your inner cowboy and get ready to boot scoot your way into the new school year.

Book your spot on the dance floor

Curious about getting around New Westminster without relying on a car? A free workshop at the New Westminster Public Library will introduce residents to more sustainable ways to navigate the city.

The Eco-Voyage: Navigating Your City workshop will explore transportation options including public transit and bike-share programs, while offering practical tips and resources for getting around safely.

The session is designed for both newcomers to New Westminster and longtime residents who want to explore alternatives to driving. Participants will learn about combining different modes of transportation to make everyday commutes more flexible, affordable and environmentally friendly.

The workshop is being offered in collaboration with Best Mobility.

The free Eco-Voyage workshop takes place Wednesday, September 2, at the New Westminster Public Library.

Registration is required. Residents interested in attending can register through the library's events page.
