Housing

New Westminster is a leader in meeting regional housing needs and protecting our most affordable housing, building more diverse housing options, and balancing the needs of the community. We must continue to support transit-oriented development, housing diversity, and working with our senior government partners to tackle the housing affordability crisis.

Climate

The City’s 7 Bold Steps represent an aggressive path to 2030, to not only meet greenhouse reduction targets, but to re-shape our city into a more resilient and livable community. As we are facing the most dire impacts of climate disruption, we cannot slow this progress, and we must assure our community is prepared to address those impacts.

Infrastructure

New Westminster has an aggressive Capital Plan, and is quickly becoming a leader in Asset Management. From building Canada’s first Zero Carbon certified aquatic and recreation centre to the less exciting work of electrical, water and sewer upgrades, we are investing in the infrastructure that builds resilience into our community.

Compassion

The pandemic has taught us just how much we rely on each other. It has also taught us that not everyone is impacted in the same way when a crisis hits. We will continue to lead with compassion and optimism, and assure there are supports in place for those who most need help. This is what builds a resilient and inclusive community.
