Submitted by New Westminster residents and Douglas College music students - Gillian Hobbs and Taylor Hett - ”The Moment”
“We wrote a song to encourage people to live their dreams, whether those dreams are to eventually play at Carnegie Hall, or to win a Gold Medal. Dreams are such important things - sometimes, they are all that keep a person going. We are lucky enough to live in a country, and a city, in which people are encouraged to follow their dreams.  Living in New Westminster has been instrumental in allowing us to live our dreams.  Studying music at Douglas College’s New Westminster campus has nurtured our talents and helped us to grow as musicians.  Living here allows us to be near the people we love, and to do what we love - create music. The Royal City really supports the arts, especially music, and for that we are very grateful. 

We wanted to write a song that would tell people that if they work hard enough, they can make their dreams come true. We thought about making a slide show of athletes or famous musicians, but we decided to instead make a simple video of two singers and a pianist to show us on our path, moving towards our own dreams.”
Great work Gillian and Taylor and freind!
