New Westminster Museum
The New Westminster Museum is among the cultural services currently under the domain of the office of the chief administrative officer. Some folks are wondering if New Westminster's cultural offerings should be overseen by a different department.

New Westminster Museum and Archives is offering some spooky stuff – but not too spooky – just in time for Halloween.

Night at the Museum gives kids a chance to explore the museum by flashlight, listen to some spooky stories about New West, make a creepy craft to take home, and play some old-time Halloween fortune-telling games. Kids aged seven to nine (room 311) and aged 10 to 12 (room 413B) will enjoy this activity on Wednesday, Oct. 24 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Anvil Centre (777 Columbia St.). It costs $13.25.

Archie Miller of A Sense of History Research Services will be sharing tales with a bit of mystery, mayhem and murder during a Halloween edition of his cemetery tour. The tour, for ages 10 and up, is on Tuesday, Oct. 30 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Fraser Cemetery, 100 Richmond St. It costs $15, and registration is required at the museum – www.anvilcentre.com or 604-527-4640.
