Latine Heritage Month is a time to celebrate the people, cultures, traditions, histories and contributions of Latine communities. Also celebrated as Hispanic Heritage Month, Latine Heritage Months starts on September 15 and goes until October 15th.

We recognize that this celebration comes at a difficult time for many Latine families. We honor those who have made sacrifices in pursuit of safety and opportunity and the families and communities that continue to care for one another.

We invite our community to celebrate, learn, listen, and help build a city where everyone feels a sense of belonging. Visit our website to learn more: www.newbrightonmn.gov/653/Showcase-Latine-Vibrancy

Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the families, friends, and communities forever changed by that day.

We honor the first responders and ordinary people who showed extraordinary courage, compassion, and selflessness in the face of tragedy.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

Happy Back to School, New Brighton!

The school year is kicking off this week, and we’re wishing all students, families, teachers, and school staff in New Brighton and our surrounding communities a wonderful year ahead!

As everyone settles back into their routines, please take a little extra care on the roads:

🚶‍♀️ Watch for students walking and biking to school.
🚲 Give bicyclists plenty of space and time to cross.
🚌 Follow school bus yielding laws and stop when required.
🚗 Slow down and stay alert in school zones and neighborhood streets.

A few extra seconds of patience can help make the trip to and from school safer for everyone. Have a great school year!

Working America has notified the City that its canvassers expect to be in the greater New Brighton area starting September 1 through at least December 31, 2026. Canvassing typically takes place between 3pm and 9pm.

Working America is a chartered affiliate of the AFL-CIO and a not-for-profit 501(c)(5) labor organization with more than five million associate members. According to the organization, its work includes education and legislative and political advocacy related to issues affecting working families, including jobs, education, living wages, secure pensions, affordable health care, and retirement security.

According to Working America, their canvassers are professionally trained and may at times carry prominently displayed picture identification cards or wear red safety vests that display their affiliation with Working America. The organization states that its representatives are conducting a membership and educational outreach campaign and are not selling products.

This notice is being shared to help residents recognize this activity if they see canvassers in their neighborhood.
