This Remembrance Day, take a meaningful step into New Westminster’s history and discover the personal stories of those who served in the First and Second World Wars. On Wednesday, November 11, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., residents are invited to explore a free, self-guided walking tour through the Queen’s Park neighbourhood, featuring the former family homes of 19 local veterans.

Presented by Heritage New West, with support from the New Westminster Museum and Archives, the tour includes a specially created map marking each home. Along the route, interpretive posters will share the veterans’ stories, researched and written by local historian Jim Wolf and created by New Westminster’s Heritage Preservation Society.

Visitors can follow the route at their own pace, pausing to reflect on the lives and sacrifices behind each story. It’s a thoughtful way to honour those who served while connecting with the people and places that shaped our community.

The tour is free and open to everyone. View the walking tour map and make time this November 11 to remember New Westminster’s veterans.

Plan Your Remembrance Day Walk Through History

Get ready for an inspiring evening of movement, creativity and world-class dance! Ballet BC Annex takes the stage at Anvil Theatre on Sunday, November 15, at 7:30 p.m., bringing an exciting triple bill of contemporary dance to New Westminster.

As the junior ensemble of Canada’s leading contemporary dance company, Ballet BC Annex showcases the next generation of dance talent. Its pre-professional dancers, who train with Vancouver institutions Modus Operandi and Arts Umbrella Dance, gain valuable professional stage experience while bringing remarkable choreography to audiences across British Columbia.

The 2026/27 season features three compelling works, including world premieres by Canadian choreographer Cameron Fraser-Monroe and Ballet BC company dancer Michael Garcia, alongside Last Flower by Vancouver-based choreographic duo Out Innerspace, originally created for Ballet BC in 2024.

Whether you're a longtime dance enthusiast or simply looking for an inspiring night out, this performance offers a chance to experience fresh perspectives and extraordinary emerging talent.

Catch Ballet BC Annex at Anvil Theatre, 777 Columbia Street, with tickets ranging from $26 to $38. Discover something new and let the power of contemporary dance move you!
