ACCESS & INCLUSION The City of New Westminster prioritizes universal access for all members of the community. An accessible city benefits people with disabilities, as well as older adults, children, people who speak English as an additional language, and people with strollers. Accessibility benefits everyone. To guide this important work, the City has formed an Accessibility Committee and is in the final stages of completing a draft Accessibility Plan. For more information about the Accessibility Advisory Committee, visit newwestcity.ca/accessibility-advisory-committee Financial Assistance New Westminster residents can receive a 50% discount on eligible registered programs, Active 10 Visit, and Active 30 Day memberships.
