Work and Live in New Westminster

One of our core values is supporting the communities in which we live and work. Urban Impact is located in the heart of New Westminster, British Columbia. The City of New Westminster is a dynamic and influential center of creativity, urban development, culture, and community.

At Urban Impact, we appreciate the level of professionalism, intelligence, and creativity that defines our community. We are part of it — we work here and live here every day.

The City of New Westminster is close to larger cities without being in the thick of the business. Often called the “hub” of the region, New Westminster offers easy access to Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, and Coquitlam—making commuting and connectivity simple.

With five SkyTrain stations serving the city, downtown Vancouver is less than 30 minutes away. Whether you rely on transit, cycling, or car-sharing, getting around Metro Vancouver is convenient and efficient.

Known as the “Royal City,” New Westminster blends historic charm with modern living. Its walkable streets, heritage architecture, and local cafés create a welcoming, community-oriented atmosphere. Spots like River Market along the waterfront add to its unique village-like feel.

From arts and culture to dining and outdoor recreation, New Westminster has something for everyone. Enjoy a stroll along the waterfront at Westminster Quay, catch live performances in Queen's Park, or explore the city’s diverse restaurants, shops, and entertainment options. With family-friendly amenities like recreation centres, pools, and sports facilities, it’s a great place to live and work.

New Westminster is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the region. With nearly half of residents identifying as visible minorities and over a third being immigrants, the city fosters an inclusive and welcoming environment. Strong representation from South Asian, Chinese, and Filipino communities enriches the local culture, alongside ongoing commitments to Indigenous reconciliation.

The City of New Westminster is leading the way in environmental responsibility, with a goal of becoming zero-carbon by 2050. Initiatives like the “Seven Bold Steps for Climate Action,” urban tree canopy expansion, and innovative waste reduction programs reflect a strong commitment to a greener future.
