1. Bundle up for the elements and head outside for a nice long walk. After the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, nothing clears your head better than getting some fresh air.
New Westminster waterfront
Riverwalk for Hospice returns to New Westminster this weekend - just one of the events happening around town in the coming weeks.

1.  Bundle up for the elements and head outside for a nice long walk. After the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, nothing clears your head better than getting some fresh air. There’s no shortage of places to stroll in the Royal City – the waterfront, Glenbrook Ravine and Queen’s Park are some of our favourites.

2.  Wind down from the hectic pace of the holidays and take in a flick at Landmark 10 New Westminster. Located at the Shops at New West Station, Landmark features new releases and charges less than you’ll pay at many theatres. For the latest info on movies and special deals, visit www.landmarkcinemas.com/new-westminster.

3.  Work off some of that holiday dinner at Canada Games Pool, where you can enjoy a swim or waterslide, work out in the gym, soak in the hot tub or get steamed in the sauna. On Boxing Day (Saturday, Dec. 26) the pool has a public swim from noon to 8 p.m., while parent and tot playtime and adult, family and public swims are scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 27, including a public swim from 1 to 8:25 p.m. For full details, visit www.newwestpcr.ca.
