Winners celebrated its grand opening in Royal City Centre on Tuesday.
After months of renovations, the long-awaited opening of the new Winners on the main floor of Royal City Centre took place on Oct. 2.
“Strathallen Property Management Inc. is excited to welcome Winners to Royal City Centre, and we know they will have a positive impact both in the mall and on the Uptown New Westminster retail district,” said Jennifer Clarke, marketing manager/brokerage administrator at Strathallen, in an email to the Record. “We know shoppers in New Westminster feel the same way and we can’t wait for them to visit our new store.”
TD plants trees
TD Canada Trust is planting hundreds of trees in New Westminster as part of TD Tree Days.
Graeme Atwater, coordinator of the local event, said TD employees and community members, including Guides and Brownies, will be planting hundreds of trees in New West on Sunday, Oct. 14.
“We are going to plant about 400 trees and plants in Queen’s Park,” he said. “We work with the city and environmental agencies. They will decided the exact spots where the plants are needed in the park. TD will pay for all the plants and supplies, and we will recruit the volunteers. It’s a fun event.”
Atwater said TD Canada Trust has hosted TD Tree Days in New Westminster for the past several years, with past plantings taking place in lower Hume Park.
“We have a thing called the Friends of the Environment Foundation where we support all different types of environmental causes,” he said. “Tree Days is one of the things we do across the country from September to October at different locations. We do it about once a year. It’s a big event. We are trying to green different areas of the community where it is needed.”
