The atmosphere was electric as families and community members gathered to explore the new aquatic and community center. We were we were honored to be a part of this exciting milestone and practice our values of love, community and celebration with you all! The Təməsew̓txʷ (learn how to pronounce it here) Aquatic and Community Centre, named in the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ language for “sea otter house”, embodies the playfulness, joyfulness, and family-oriented nature of the sea otter in its design and opportunities for our community. The facility is not just about fitness and amenities; it’s about creating a space where everyone can come together, connect, and enjoy a healthy lifestyle.
Making a Splash with Families
At the event, Dana and Lizzie offered fun activities for the younger set while sharing the great work we do in supporting families and advocating for their needs. We were thrilled to connect with 385 community members at this event and celebrate this major milestone for New Westminster. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our amazing volunteers who helped us celebrate by preparing sea otter crowns for decoration which were a huge hit with the children! Your creativity and hard work added an extra layer of joy to the day.
Join Us in Celebrating
As we look forward to many years of swimming, fitness, and community togetherness at the Təməsew̓txʷ Aquatic and Community Centre, we invite everyone to join us in celebrating this cornerstone for community. We are also looking forward to more opportunities to celebrate this exceptional community in June and can’t wait to see you there.
