MAYOR’S UPDATE
Season’s Greetings!
As we near the end of 2019, it’s an opportunity to reflect
and celebrate all that we’ve accomplished over the year.
A key focus for Council is getting the basics right and
delivering on the core services that matter to our residents
— from upgraded roads, safer streets and more parks where
families can gather.
Some of the accomplishments this year include the opening
of Fox Park, upgrading of Centennial Pool, more crosswalks,
improved street lighting and the opening of the new Castle
Spray Park.
The most exciting news is the opening of Phase One of our Don’t forget to come out and partake in some of the
new Port Coquitlam Community Centre, which includes two seasonal fun in Port Coquitlam such as Christmas in
new ice arenas, a library and spaces for youth, seniors and Leigh Square featuring the Winter Artisan Market, live
families. Coming in early 2020 will be a new leisure pool entertainment, holiday crafts, food trucks and more!
and fitness centre. Phase 2 amenities, which will open in I hope to see you at some of our community activities
2021 include a third ice arena, gymnasium, children’s area, and events! For more information flip through this
underground parking, outdoor plazas and sport courts. We guide or check it out online at portcoquitlam.ca/
continue to appreciate your patience during the next phase leisure-guide
of construction.
My best wishes for a very Merry Christmas.
The holiday season is always a busy one, so the programs
offered in this season’s leisure guide are a welcome addition
to include some well-deserved health and wellness into
your schedule.

the child may be withdrawn at the discretion of staff for safety reasons.
