The countdown to one of Queensborough’s most anticipated holiday traditions is on! The Queensborough Family Christmas Dinner is back — and if you haven’t grabbed your tickets yet, now’s the time! 🎟️
Tickets went on sale November 4, and as regulars know, this event sells out fast every single year. Gather your friends and family, grab a table for eight, and get ready for an evening filled with festive cheer, laughter, and delicious food.
This year’s holiday buffet, catered by Sugar Mountain Catering, features a mouthwatering lineup: roast turkey with apple-sage dressing, baked ham with apple cider-raisin jus, butternut squash ravioloni for the veggie lovers, and all your favourite sides — mashed potatoes, baked yams, roasted Brussels sprouts, and more. 🍗🥦🍠
And save room for dessert — the spread of Christmas baked goodies will make even Santa jealous! 🎅✨
Of course, the fun doesn’t stop there. Be sure to grab a few raffle tickets for a chance to win amazing prizes — from gift certificates and kitchen gadgets to a mystery box worth over $500! 🎁
📍 Queensborough Community Centre
🪑 Tables seat up to 8 guests
Let’s kick off the holiday season together, Queensborough-style — with full plates, full hearts, and festive spirit to spare.

The wait is finally over, New West! After months of curiosity and drive-by peeks at the new site, Metro Vancouver’s very first Costco Business Centre is officially set to open its doors on Thursday, November 14, 2025 — right here in Queensborough.
Taking over the former Lowe’s location at 1085 Tanaka Court, this massive 142,000 sq. ft. warehouse is a game changer for shoppers and small businesses alike. Unlike your regular Costco, the Business Centre focuses on bulk buys, restaurant-grade ingredients, and business essentials — but everyday shoppers are still welcome to browse and stock up, too.
And yes, while there’s no food court (sorry, $1.50 hot dog fans 🌭), the savings might just make up for it! To celebrate the grand opening, shoppers can expect special opening-week deals on fresh food, kitchen supplies, and even commercial equipment — perfect timing for holiday prep or small biz restocks.
Whether you’re running a café, planning a party, or just love a good deal, this new Costco is ready to make your bulk-buying dreams come true.
📍 Location: 1085 Tanaka Court, Queensborough, New Westminster
📅 Opening Day: Thursday, November 14, 2025
