Inside the Anvil Centre — Art, History & Community in New West

In this thoughtful and locally grounded episode of New West Podcast, host Carla McNeil takes listeners inside the Anvil Centre — one of New Westminster’s most important cultural spaces. Blending art, history, and community, this episode explores what it feels like to visit the Anvil Centre, from quiet gallery moments to live performances and shared experiences. Carla also highlights how a visit can extend beyond the building — especially with Columbia Street’s new “Eat Street” designation — creating a full, meaningful evening in the heart of downtown New West. This episode invites listeners to slow down, explore, and experience the city in a deeper way — where even a simple visit can turn into something memorable.
