Weekly Live Music at the Terminal Pub

Hidden Wonders is a speakeasy-style performance venue hidden behind a fake business facade in New Westminster’s historic downtown. It is part of a new trend in magic entertainment that focuses less on grand-scale illusions and more on intimate experiences that leave the audience awestruck and moved. Confirmed guests will only be given the address for the venue once their tickets have been purchased.

The seventy-five-minute magic experience features effects exclusively designed for the venue as well as several of the effects Shawn created to win the world championship and to fool Vegas’s Penn & Teller twice on their hit television show Fool Us.

The goal is to offer an intimate and exclusive up close and personal magic experience that is unparalleled. Hidden Wonders’ track record of continuously selling out shows is a positive indication that this trend is certain to continue as tickets are disappearing fast.

The City is exploring the addition of one new regulation-size artificial turf sports field to enhance recreation opportunities in New Westminster. Over the past few months, we've been working closely with a Sports Leadership Group representing various sports field user groups to identify the best location for a new field. After careful consideration and consultation, two potential sites have been short-listed:

• Terry Hughes Park

• Ryall Park

Only one location will be chosen. In either location, an artificial turf field would replace an existing grass field.
