its part of Surrey.
Its that ugly area you see off of skytrain on the river front.

Looks like this:

I've lived around the Lower Mainland for a very long time, and I've never heard of it either.  
Thousands of years ago cats were worshipped.  They have not forgotten.

Here's a link:

Yeah, I've seen that area.  Ugly to the bone!  But I didn't realize it was called "Westminster District", seeing that it is in Surrey across the river from New Westminster.

This is odd.  It connects on the link, but it won't download.

There's the main page link that has the link to the pdf.
Saw the presentation it looks really really nice.

That's how I saw it.  I took a round trip tour on Skytrain just for something to do.  Interesting trip.  You can look at people's apartments with their curtains open, and wonder who had the bad taste in decorating!  LOL  The noise is terrible for people living close to the Skytrain, but the trade-off is that it is close to their home if they commute by train or bus.

I think it's an area that's considered the south of New Westminster.    I've never heard of it.....I've never known anyone who's heard of it, and be darned if I can find it on a map.  Chances are 'South Westminster' is what it may be called after it is developed?

yeah its going to be called south westminster lol. Officially its being called the South Westminster revitalization project.

I clicked on that last link and it really is an area just the other side of the Patullo Bridge.  When I was in Surrey the poorest home buyers lived down there, as there was no soil drainage and a lot of flooding when it rained.  As I recall, the garbage dump was not too far from there.

When I lived out there it was called "Surrey for the inconvenience".
