HISTORY OF CENTENNIAL LODGE
The City’s Centennial Project in 1960 was the construction of the Centennial Lodge. An extension was added in 1987 to accommodate the Arts Council of New Westminster for use as small gallery and administration area to co-ordinate Arts & Cultural services.

A service road was built from the parking lot at the Centennial Lodge to the Lodge in 1977. Street lighting was installed and the area was landscaped in the same year.
