Once the capital of British Columbia, New Westminster is now a city of approximately 70,000 inhabitants and a growing urban infrastructure. The city is well-known for its beautiful waterfront area, heritage buildings, and famous festivals and parks.
New Westminster is located near the Fraser River, bordered by the cities Coquitlam and Burnaby—not to mention Vancouver is just a half-hour drive away. These urban amenities make the city a great place to live and visit. Be sure to see the uptown district.
