Authorities are investigating a troubling incident in New Westminster after a hidden camera was found inside the men’s changeroom at Upper Hume Park. The New Westminster Police Department was alerted on April 22 when a concerned individual reported discovering the device concealed beneath a bench in the facility.

Police officers responded promptly to the call and conducted a thorough search of the changeroom. The hidden camera, which had been retrieved by the individual, was handed over to officers at the scene and has since been seized for forensic analysis.

The investigation remains active as police work to identify the person responsible. In the meantime, officials are urging the individual behind the act to come forward voluntarily.

The discovery has caused understandable concern among park users. Law enforcement is reassuring the public that the incident is being taken seriously and that all available evidence is being reviewed carefully.

Anyone with relevant information is asked to contact the New Westminster Police Department at 604-525-5411.

Get ready to shop, stroll, and discover hidden gems — the Queen’s Park Garage Sale is back and bigger than ever! Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 10, 2025, and join the fun from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the heart of New Westminster’s Queen’s Park neighbourhood.

Now celebrating its 28th year, this legendary community event transforms the charming heritage streets of Queen’s Park into a lively open-air marketplace. Families, collectors, and bargain hunters alike are invited to "go sale-ing" as dozens of homes set up vibrant yard sales packed with treasures — from vintage finds and antiques to toys, books, decor, and more.

Best of all, this event is free and open to everyone! It’s a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the spirit of spring, clear out a few closets, and support your neighbours in the process. Whether you're hunting for a rare collectible or just out for a sunny stroll, there’s something for everyone at this much-loved neighbourhood event.

🚨 QUEEN’S PARK GARAGE SALE UPDATE! 🚨
So far, 26 homes have registered to participate — and the list is still growing! A garage sale map will be available to help visitors locate each participating home, making it easy to plan your treasure hunt. Keep an eye out: an updated map will be posted closer to May 10!

Want to join the fun? If you live in Queen’s Park and would like to register your home as a garage sale location, simply email [email protected] or call (604) 526-2888. Organizers highly encourage participants to donate a portion or all of their proceeds to a local charity or organization of their choice — another wonderful way to give back to the community.

Proudly sponsored by Kellie Vallee of RE/MAX All Points Realty, the Queen’s Park Garage Sale continues to bring neighbours together and create lasting memories year after year.
