Welcoming New Westminster

New Westminster is home to a rich diversity of cultures languages and traditions - but was it always this way? In this program, students will engage in guided exploration of New Westminster Museum to lean about the histories and experiences of various newcomer communities, including early immigrants from China, Japan, and South Asia. Through inquiry- based activities, students will examine the challenges these communities faced, their contributions to the city, and the evolving meaning of belonging in New Westminster. The program encourages reflection on immigration, identity, and how diverse histories shape the community today.
