Nicknamed the "Royal City," New Westminster is one of
the oldest cities in Canada. Its evolution from pioneer settlement to gold
rush town to stately Victorian town is truly reflected in the fine period
architecture of residential, commercial and institutional buildings. Its
45,000 residents enjoy a mild climate, full city facilities and close proximity
to Vancouver, as well as well-maintained parks, playing fields, and sports
facilities.
It's recent development includes the fun and popular Westminster Quay Public Market. Built on pilings over the river, and located within walking distance from the main thoroughfaire of Columbia Street, it is central to the sophisticated urban condominium developments that have sprung up along the river banks. Strolling along the boardwalk that connects it all, you can see everything from deep-sea freighters bringing their cargos to port, to working tugs hauling log booms, to curious seals checking out their prospects for a salmon lunch in the currents!
Estimated driving time from midpoint of New Westminster by automobile to Vancouver's
downtown core is 35 minutes. The commute to Vancouver via public transit is estimated at 25 minutes.
