Hyack Festival Association of New Westminster and Festivals New Westminster is proud to again host an amazing day especially designed for familes in mind...just for Canada's birthday.The Hyack Festival Association would like to recognize the many corporate sponsors who help make our events possible.
The CDMF was started in 1953 on the suggestion of Beryl MacLeod (Founder). At that time the students were participating in the Kiwanis Festival in Vancouver. The parents, children and teachers were weary of driving or taking the train all the way into the city and back, often returning late at night. Beryl suggested, 'Let's put Port Coquitlam on the map and start our own festival'.
