Get ready to lace up, dance, and dash — New Westminster’s waterfront is turning into a disco party with a twist! 🎉 Steel & Oak Brewing Co. is gearing up for its first-ever Disco Dash, part of the popular S&O Beer Run series — and they’re calling for volunteers to help make it happen.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Pier Park, this funky, feel-good event mixes fitness, fun, and local craft beer. Volunteers will play a key role in keeping the good vibes rolling, helping with setup, cheering on runners, and supporting the beer garden action.
And yes — volunteering comes with perks! Helpers will receive:
🍻 Two beer tickets for the event’s beer garden
🎁 A four-pack of Steel & Oak beer to take home
🏃 50% off a future Beer Run event
It’s the perfect way to support your community, meet new people, and enjoy a front-row seat to one of New Westminster’s liveliest fall happenings.
Local businesses in New Westminster are being invited to take part in an upcoming “Refresh for Fall” weekend, a community initiative designed to revitalize shopfronts and enhance the city’s business districts. The two-day event, organized by the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the City of New Westminster and School District 40, will take place on October 18 and 19, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The weekend aims to bring together local merchants, students, and community volunteers to clean, paint, and beautify storefronts and public spaces. Participating businesses will have access to volunteer support and covered costs for improvement activities such as power washing, painting, and general maintenance.
Volunteers and participants will also enjoy complimentary lunch and snacks as part of the event’s community-driven atmosphere. Organizers encourage businesses to submit their ideas for improvement, along with contact information, to the Chamber of Commerce to join the effort.
This initiative not only helps improve the appearance of New Westminster’s business districts but also strengthens community pride and collaboration among residents, students, and local entrepreneurs.
