Thrifting in New Westminster

New Westminster is compact enough for a genuinely efficient thrift day. Columbia Street has several secondhand stops close together, while Uptown and 12th Street add community thrift and vintage without requiring a long cross-city drive.

The local mix is unusually mission-driven, with hospital auxiliary, animal-welfare, community youth and social-service connections alongside independent vintage and by-the-pound shopping.

Because some community shops keep shorter volunteer-run schedules, check the individual listing before making a special trip. The Passport works especially well here if you want to work through the city over more than one outing.
