Several of New Westminster’s heritage homes will be opening their doors to the community for Christmas.
The second annual Homes for the Holidays tour is set for Sunday, Dec. 7 in New Westminster. Six local homes will be dolled up in their holiday finery for the self-paced tour, which raises funds for the Queen’s Park Health Care Foundation.
“We have six homes this year – five beautiful heritage homes in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood and Galbraith Manor at the corner of Queens and Eighth Street,” said Colleen McDonald, “They will be decorated inside and out for Christmas.”
If you’ve taken part in the New Westminster Heritage Preservation Society’s spring tour, this is your chance to see some of those homes dressed up for the holiday.
“Each of the homes has been on the spring tour,” McDonald said. “Now you will see them in their festive splendour.”
Some of the homes will be selling items such as scarves, jewelry and Christmas decor that are stocked in the foundation’s gift shop at Queen’s Park Care Centre. Net proceeds from the event will support patients and residents at Queen’s Park Care Centre.
Last year’s tour sold out quite quickly, so you may want to get your tickets fast.
