The New Westminster Environmental Partners are concerned about the lack of certainty and concrete progress on the Evergreen Line, the long over-due rapid transit extension to the Tri-Cities area. We recognize this as the most important and most beneficial transportation infrastructure project at an advanced stage in Metro Vancouver area, yet it remains insufficiently funded. In the mean time, other questionable transportation infrastructure projects (dominated by major urban freeway building) are proceeding fully funded.

You may have read the news that New Westminster is moving to a new system of garbage collection. The old “Oscar the Grouch” garbage cans are out, and an automated garbage collection , with dedicated bins provided by the city, are in! What you may not have realized is how big those bins are going to be, and this is a matter of potential concern to the NWEP. Please refer to the official city page on proposed automated collection.

An open letter to the New Westminster Mayor, council, provincial & federal elected official and candidates seeking election in the current by-election:

As you all are aware, last Thursday New Westminster Environmental Partners held a screening of the critically acclaimed film The Age of Stupid. We were glad to see a number of your there and wish more of you could have made it out.

NWEP is proud to be hosting a screening of The Age of Stupid, the only Metro Vancouver screening outside of the Vancouver International Film Festival.

We've sold 100 of 130 tickets for the event, and to prevent accidental over selling will now only be selling the remaining tickets at the door.
