The Key to the City provides an opportunity for local businesses throughout New Westminster to attract customers by offering deals and discounts on their products or services. Customers become involved by purchasing a Key to the City key tag for $15 ($10 for renewal) that allows them to shop, dine and re-discover New Westminster for one full year.
