Overview

Sapperton is a neighbourhood in the east of New Westminster, on the north bank of the Fraser River. The City draws it as an area of about 153 hectares.

By land area, about 48% is zoned single detached and 26% institutional, which includes Royal Columbian Hospital at 330 East Columbia Street. Duplex, low-rise apartment, industrial, commercial and mixed-use zoning make up the rest.

School District 40 has one secondary school, New Westminster Secondary School at 820 6th Street, and every Sapperton address feeds it. The district also runs three middle schools and several elementary schools, and publishes the boundaries by address.

Sapperton Station and Braid Station, both on the Expo Line, are about 1 km apart. TransLink routes 109, 128, 153, 155, 156, 159, 169 and 791 have stops inside the boundary.

None of the 224 sites on the City's heritage register lie inside the boundary. BC's Bill 44 and the Transit-Oriented Areas rules apply, and the City sets how they apply to a given lot.
