In New Westminster, markets are becoming more than just a place to shop โ theyโre becoming spaces where community, creativity, and opportunity come together.
DBJ Marketsโ โMarkets with a Purposeโ is all about creating meaningful connections, bringing together local makers, small businesses, and creatives in a space that celebrates both talent and community impact.
What makes these markets stand out is their focus on youth and education. Students are given the chance to participate, showcase their work, and gain real-world experience โ building confidence, creativity, and entrepreneurial skills along the way.
From handmade goods and vintage finds to upcycled fashion and unique pieces, every booth tells a story. And with every purchase, visitors are directly supporting local dreams and small businesses.
Organizers are currently looking to welcome a few more vendors to round out the market, with a focus on creative, community-driven offerings.
At its heart, this is more than a market โ itโs a space where people connect, ideas grow, and the local community thrives.
New West pride is back in style โ and just in time for the season.
The New Westminster Salmonbellies have launched their official merch store, featuring a mix of classic favourites and fresh new designs for fans looking to show their support.
From game days to everyday wear, itโs a chance to rep one of the cityโs most iconic teams and be part of a long-standing lacrosse tradition in New Westminster.
๐ But donโt wait โ the store is only open until April 20.
All items are made to order, and once the deadline passes, orders close.
Whether youโve been cheering for years or just getting into the game, this is your chance to wear your Bellies pride.

โฐ Last call for this Tin Man mystery!
Todayโs mystery closes soon
๐ Your chance to win Win a $25 Gift Card from Greenโs and Beans Deli ends soon.
