The New Westminster Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Downtown New West BIA invites you to the Economic Forum at Anvil Centre February 6, 2025. This is the community's premier event to imagine a vision for New West in the next five, ten and even fifteen years. What do we want for housing, business, industry, roads, and amenities? What are the challenges and features of our community that we can address and utilise? We will explore these topics in-depth at the afternoon Breakout Sessions. We need your input, expertise and experience to inform the topics discussed.
