🧡👔 Happy Father’s Day, New Westminster!
Celebrating the Strength, Love, and Heart of Every Dad

This Sunday, June 15, we take a moment to celebrate the incredible men who help shape our lives with quiet strength, loud laughter, and unwavering love—our fathers.

💬 Whether he's the one fixing everything around the house, offering advice when you need it most, or simply showing up with a warm hug and a proud smile, a father's presence is a gift that never goes unnoticed.

👨‍👧‍👦 Fatherhood comes in many forms. Today, we honour every kind of dad—biological fathers, stepdads, adoptive dads, grandfathers, big brothers, uncles, and all the father figures who give selflessly, lead with their hearts, and love without limits.

🌟 They are our role models, our protectors, our everyday heroes. From early morning school drop-offs to late-night pep talks, from building bikes to building our confidence, dads make the ordinary moments extraordinary.

🎁 So today, let’s celebrate with love. Whether it’s a homemade card, a phone call, a shared laugh, or simply saying “Thank you, Dad,” it all matters. It’s the thought, the love, and the time we give that make this day truly special.

💙 To all the fathers in New Westminster and beyond—thank you for your strength, your kindness, and your love. You are deeply appreciated, today and every day.

Happy Father’s Day!
With love,
The New West Spotlight Team
