We believe that building a Compassionate City starts within the community. Our programs offer a variety of ways for the people of New Westminster to learn and engage, to receive support, and to build a more compassionate community.


Dialogue on Death & Dying
The Dialogue is held with the aim of normalizing conversations in our community about the totally natural human events that are kept far too secret in our Western culture: Death and Dying.



River Walk
The Riverwalk is an annual New West Hospice Society fund-raising event, usually held in early May.

Voice for the Vulnerable
Bringing Advanced Care Planning to unhoused people in New Westminster

Walk & Talk
Walk and Talk is an opportunity for those dealing with loss of a loved one, to join others with similar experiences for sharing and mutual support.

Community Engagement
A collection of community based engagement and learning activities that helps inform our mission, mandate, and offerings.
