SOLIDARITY FOREVER (Opening February 14)
New Westminster was built on a foundation of organized union labour. By delving into what drove people to join together and what they stood up against, we can learn so much about the working conditions of the past, as well as what fights have continued to this day. This exhibition serves as a reminder that rights were not freely given by following the stories of those who demanded change.

REFRAMED: UNDERSTANDING NEW WEST THROUGH PHOTOS
New Westminster Museum and Archives holds 230,000 photographs documenting scenes from the city’s history and its people. By critically examining photographs, both familiar and unseen, we can better understand the role photographs may play in creating a more genuine picture of New Westminster’s history. We can look again and reframe our knowledge about the city by highlighting its marginalized stories.
This exhibition is part of the 2025 Capture Photography Festival Selected Exhibition Program.
