]]>In 1866 there was a perceived threats of invasion by Irish-American Fenians from the United States of America. Fenians had mounted a brief and abortive invasion of Eastern Canada and as a result The Rifles were supplemented by the formation of “The Home Guards” and The Seymour Artillery Company.
In 1874, the New Westminster Rifle Company No. 1 ceased to exist, replaced by the No. 1 Company of Rifles (New Westminster). In 1877 the No. 1 Company of Rifles (New Westminster) was reorganized as the New Westminster Rifle Company, but no increase in its almost totally non-existent funding or equipment was authorized.
In 1892, as a consequence of neglect on the part of the Canadian government the New Westminster Rifle Company was disbanded.
It is normally open on Tuesday and Thursday’s from 11am to 3pm. Tours are available but you must contact the Museum staff to arrange something.
The Royal Westminster Regiment traces its lineage back to The New Westminster Rifle Company No. 1 which was formed on November 21, 1863 and was the first militia unit raised in British Columbia, predating Canada as a nation.
]]>The Dufferin Coach - This coach was used by the Governor General of Canada, the Earl of Dufferin, and his wife when they toured the new province of British Columbia in 1876. It was apparently built in San Francisco, California, for this purpose and was purchased by Mr. Dufferin for $250. The coach was pulled by 4 or 6 horses. It was later used by the BX Company as a VIP coach. The Native Sons of BC bought the coach from Louis Lebordais. In 1929 the coach was rescued from the burning fairgrounds buildings at Queen’s Park and was used for some of the May Day ceremonies.
The New Westminster Museum and Archives has over 27,000 items in its collection, but not all of these can be shown at one time due to space constraints, conservation concerns and other reasons. An artifact or archival item may be considered by us to be a “treasure” if it represents part of the City’s history. Such a “treasure” may or may not have a ‘monetary’ value but its historical value is priceless. Here are a few of the “treasures” that we hold in trust for the citizens of New Westminster:

]]>The City Museum, and its collection, moved in 1905 to the Carnegie Library at Main and Hastings.
In 1968, the Museum moved into its current landmark building on the south shore of False Creek in what is now known as Vanier Park. That same year it was renamed the Centennial Museum.
In 1905, the museum opened in the Carnegie Library, and began an uphill climb, that was to survive two World Wars, and the great depression. These calamities took their toll on the citizens of Vancouver, but when times were toughest, they rallied behind their museum.

There is a parallel in the histories of the city of Vancouver and the Vancouver Museum. Soon after the C.P.R. arrived in 1887, an art association was formed. In 1894, it expanded into the “Art, Historical, and Scientific Association of Vancouver”, and its members began collecting artifacts for a museum.

Stanley Park is recognized around the globe as one of the great parks of the world!
Dedicated by Lord Stanley on October 29,1889, Stanley Park stands as a protected, forested park at the western edge of Downtown Vancouver. The Canadian Government has leased the park to the City of Vancouver for $1 per year since 1887. Over the past 100 years, the park has been a point of interest for both mariners and tourists. The Seawalk officially opened in 1971, providing one of the most scenic jogging areas in the city. Today, the park plays host to numerous attractions including the Vancouver Aquarium.
Stanley Park, Vancouver’s first, is an evergreen oasis of 1,000 acres close to the heart of Vancouver’s downtown core. It offers numerous of activities and attractions from the children’s farmyard, to a miniature railway.
Its natural west coast atmosphere offering a back drop of majestic cedar, hemlock and fir trees embraces visitors and transports them to an environment rich in tranquility.
The park abounds in wildlife and its features appeal to the naturalist, the plant lover or one who would do nothing more than relax in beautiful surroundings.
The forest gives the park a more natural character than most other urban parks, leading many users to consider it an urban oasis.[18] It is primarily second and third growth and contains many huge Douglas-fir, Western Redcedar, Western Hemlock, and Sitka Spruce trees.
Stanley Park contains numerous natural and man-made attractions that lure visitors to the park. Unlike other large urban parks, Stanley Park is not the product of a landscape architect, but has evolved into its present, mixed-use configuration.
