The Fraser

The New Westminster Quay is a short distance from our building. I often head uptown when going for a walk. The cardio effect of the hill does make it more of a workout, but today's stroll was pleasant. With the land reclaimed by Pier Park plus the Quay Esplanade, the city of New Westminster does now have a great deal of enjoyable riverfront area.

It seems right to see the city's renewed focus on the river. The reason there's a city here at all is because of the Fraser. Between 1859 and 1866, we were the first capital of British Columbia.
