Economic Development

A successful community is built on infrastructure and services. New Westminster is proud of our business-friendly government, comprehensive City services, and strong infrastructure. Prospective employers will appreciate the advantages of a highly trained local workforce, affordable office/ warehouse space, and New Westminster’s central location in Metro Vancouver’s transportation network.

Recent development growth has resulted in high quality housing options for a young and growing labour force that enjoys the affordable lifestyle, beautiful parks and community amenities in the Royal City. As the oldest city in Western Canada, New Westminster offers the unique combination of heritage charm and the livability of a smaller community along with access to world-class educational, cultural and commercial opportunities.
