Land Use Today Education New Westminster has a diversity of educational institutions ranging from elementary to post-secondary. Currently there are nine elementary schools, one middle school, and one junior/senior secondary school constituting School District #40. Another middle school will be added in Queensborough by January 2003. The School Board is the second largest employer in New Westminster with 900 employees. Schools in New Westminster are also the site of many parks and playing fields adding 13.1 hectares (32.4 acres) of greenspace to the City. Higher-level education institutions include the New Westminster campus of Douglas College, the BC Justice Institute, Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine, Sprott-Shaw Community College, and the West Coast College of Massage Therapists. Industry The are occupied by industry in New Westminster, especially in Downtown and Uptown, has been declining for the last couple of decades. The fact that historically industrial areas of the City now have high residential or commercial value as well as the fact that other municipalities have larger tracts of land available for industry has attracted some industry elsewhere. Today, most industry is concentrated along the water front areas of Sapperton, in the Brunette Creek district, and both the Queensborough and mainland banks of the Fraser’s North Arm. Warehousing and storage along with wood and paper manufacturing facilities account for 66% of the City’s industrial floor space. Agriculture Today, the only agricultural areas left in the City are located in Queensborough. The farms include a poplar tree farm and a small fruit and vegetable farm and market. 22
