New Westminster – Glenbrooke North

Glenbrooke North is a tight-knit, supportive community in New Westminster located on the northern border of Queen’s Park and bounded by 6th St, 10th Ave, 6th Ave and McBride Blvd. Glenbrooke North Residents’ Association meets every two months to discuss matters that concern the neighborhood such as traffic, zoning and neighbourhood events. Many of the quiet streets are lined with cherry trees; when they shed their blossoms in late spring, cover the area with a blanket of “pink snow.”
