There's no doubt the news cycle can sometimes feel heavy on doom and gloom — but there's a lot more to New Westminster happenings than crime and complaining.
Because we felt the need for a little light and sunshine as we head into April, we thought we'd round up 10 of our most read good-news stories from March to remind ourselves of the positivity in our community.
