MUSEUM EXHIBITIONS
BE/LONGING February 18 - October 7, 2018 Through a series of commissioned artwork and a series of community stories, this exhibition explores experiences of belonging, and longing to be at home in contemporary New Westminster. Be/Longing is the culmination of a series of year-long collaborative conversations between the New Westminster Museum & Archives, New Westminster Arts Services, artists and the residents of our city. The focus of these conversations was “home”, and the numerous meanings of the word. During Canada’s sesquicentennial, we wanted to know what people imagined, felt or dreamed of when they thought of home. PEOPLE GOTTA MOVE July 5 - November 16, 2018 Crossroads of roads, rails and river, People Gotta Move is a new exhibition about transportation in New Westminster, developed in collaboration with the Vancouver LEGO Club.

GENERAL
Keeping Your Cats Safe The safest place for your beloved feline is inside your home. Cats allowed to roam freely outside are at greater risk for injury, illness and their lifespan is shorter than indoor cats. Everything from cars to predators to pest poison can harm a cat plus they are at a great risk to get lost.
How to Keep Your Indoor Cat Happy & Healthy “Catify” their Home
• Set up window perches inside & bird feeders outside for bird-watching • Install wall shelves or a large cat tree for climbing • Have several scratching posts so your cat can scratch appropriately • Place little pots of cat grass around the home for your cat to nibble on
You can give your cat safe access to the outdoors, by walking them on a cat harness or building a screenedin enclosure. If your cat absolutely must be outside, then remember they must be spayed or neutered and have identification at all times (tattoo or microchip). It’s the bylaw!
Eight convenient and safe off-leash dog enclosures are located at: • Mercer & Duncan Streets • Carnarvon & Blackie Streets • Chilliwack & 10th Streets • Quayside Drive & Rialto Court • 7th Avenue & 22nd Street • Queen’s Park (large & small dog areas) • Hume Park • Moody Park Visit www.newwestcity.ca for details.
Fun feeding
Stop free-feeding your cat (i.e. leaving a bowl of kibble out all day). Instead, hide kibble throughout the house so your cat has to find it or use a feeder toy that he has to work at to get it out.
Exercise
Play with your cat every day. Try different types of toys that allow your cat to stalk, chase, pounce and kick. Some toys are designed for the humans to join in and others are designed for the cat to play on their own. Even a paper bag can be lots of fun for a cat.
Get a friend
If your cat is social with other pets, you might consider adopting a second cat or even a dog as a playmate or companion.
Identification
Even indoor cats can escape, so they should always have some type of ID - a name tag, a tattoo or a microchip. Your cat will thank you for keeping them safe and sound!
Cats are available for adoption at the Queen’s Park Petting Farm. 82

Trip For Two
On August 25, 1915, Charles E. Stride and Robert J. Barr left New Westminster for a bicycle trip to San Francisco. The purpose of the trip was to visit the world’s fair, the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Charlie Stride, who would later become one of New Westminster’s preeminent photographers, kept a diary of his trip. At various points along the journey, Stride would have a local person sign his diary entry. J. Lewis Sangster was the first person to write his signature in the diary to witness the start of the trip. Sangster, a future mayor of New Westminster, had visited the fair on his honeymoon earlier in the year. The diary records the daily progress of the trip, the road conditions, mechanical problems, and accommodations. The two cyclists reached San Francisco on October 22nd. The bike trip was intended to go no farther, but Stride decided to keep riding south. Stopping along the way for five weeks to pick lemons, he reached the American border with Mexico on January 1, 1916.
