Welcome to What’s On! Port Coquitlam Premiere Issue!! I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to be launching this magazine here. I’ve always dreamed of a career in publishing so getting the opportunity to own and publish my own magazine in a community that I love is an absolute dream come true for me. I always knew that Port Coquitlam was very community focused and had lots of great family-friendly events running regularly, but I had no idea just how much was going on until I started the magazine. In addition to all the well-known parades and events, is the large number of community groups for people to become involved in and support. And we have made every effort to include as many of those groups as we could in our premiere issue.

I’ve been enjoying these last two months getting to know so many more people in the community and I can’t wait to meet more of you and hear about your events, everything from the festivals right down to the school fairs. This is your magazine, Port Coquitlam, so please let us know about all the amazing groups and events that need to be included. This is just the beginning! Here’s to many more successful magazines that are all about supporting the local community!

All walks start at the HEY building at 1 pm unless stated otherwise.

There are more than 1800 catalogued trees at Riverview many of which are unique. Preservation of the site will enhance the quality of life in

the Tri-Cities and beyond.

Since 1992 the Riverview Horticultural Centre Society has worked to increase public awareness of the Riverview Lands in Coquitlam with the goal of having the site preserved for the mentally ill and public community uses. Riverview has historically been a sanctuary for the mentally ill and it is hoped that it can once again be in the future.The Heritage Trees on the Riverview Lands form an irreplaceable asset for the people of BC complementing the Metro Vancouver Regional Park

at Colony Farm as a regional green space for Greater Vancouver.

Visit www.rhcs.org orcall 604-290-9910 for more info.

Join us at one of our scheduled tree tours. Help

save this beautiful 244 acre site! The government website

where you can have input is www.renewingriverview.com

The old Riverview Hospital is closed. This break from the past allows for the new Riverview to come into being. It’s a jewel of a site that’s far too good for anything but a compassionate, diverse care community for mental health treatment, education & healing. Brenda Guild

The May Day Festival is a longstanding tradition in Port Coquitlam. In 2013 we celebrated the 90th annual May Day Festival along with the City’s Centennial. This year the fun and the traditions continue at the 91st annual May Day Festival. Although May Days has evolved since they began in 1923 the same community spirit continues to shine in this unique Port Coquitlam Festival.

This Festival begins with an Opening Ceremony on May 2nd and ends with a Mother’s Day picnic at Lions Park on May 11th 2014. The Opening Ceremony involves over 200 local school children who perform traditional May Pole dances they have been taught in their schools. The Royal Party also performs and the Mayor, May Queen and Ambassador offi cially open the festival.

The ever popular Rotary May Day parade is on May 10th and offi cially begins at 11am. Come early as there is lots to do before the parade. Enjoy a family pancake breakfast in Leigh Square starting at 7am, run the May Day Mile along the parade route at 10 am(a one mile non - competitive run for all ages and fi tness levels) and fi nish in time to watch the Vancouver Police Motorcycle Drill Squad.

The Leigh Square Community Block Party will follow the Parade. Entertainment, barbeque concessions and refreshments are available after the parade with live music by Greg Drummond and his band starting at 1pm. The entertainment continues all afternoon with a Community Showcase until 5pm at Leigh Square.

Trolley Tour rides will also be offered as a fun way to learn a little history with narration provided by the Port Coquitlam Heritage society. Riders can get on and off at any of the 4 designated stops including Leigh Square and rides are free.

May 11th is the Mother’s Day picnic at Lions Park. This is a fun and free family event full of activities and entertainment for children and their moms. A pancake breakfast, BBQ lunch will be available and there will be a variety of kid friendly activities and some special treats for moms. What a great opportunity to celebrate your family!

As you can see, the May Day Festival is an exciting community event with something for everyone. For more details of all of the events check out our website atwww.portcoquitlam.ca/mayday

June is Bike MonthGet Out and Have Fun!… …and of course, always wear your helmet!

It’s a great opportunity to dust off that bike and explore Port Coquitlam on two wheels.

Port Coquitlam’s bike routes offer something for every skill level—from wide, fl at paved lanes to winding forest paths— and they connect to major amenities and business centres, making it a convenient way to get around the city. Hop on your bicycle to complete a few errands or as part of your commute – you’ll enjoy the trip and burn a few calories in the process.

With the weather warming up, it’s time to rethink your stressful commute. What about cycling along tree-lined streets, trails and bike lanes instead of sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffi c? You’ll save money, get fi t and help the environment.

It’s your neighbourhood. It’s your community. It’s right next door. It’s within a few kilometres of where you live.

And one of the best ways to get to know it and be part of it, right on the ground, is to ride a bike. Riding a bike around the neighbourhood to shop and do errands, to go to appointments, soccer games, the community centre, movies and socializing is FUN. It’s also EASY, CHEAP, HEALTHY and makes a difference to your QUALITY of LIFE.Anything within 3 km of where you are can be reached in a comfortable 10-15 minute bike ride, even by casual cyclists (less if it’s downhill!).Get out, ride and have FUN!

The Traboulay PoCo Trail

The 25-kilometre, Traboulay PoCo Trail encircles our community. This fl at walking and cycling trail is suitable for exploring at any time of the year.

The trail traverses a varied landscape that includes forest and creek, meadow and marsh, riverfront and urban development. The paved Downtown section winds through areas where local residents live, play and work. It’s well used by recreational users as well as bicycle commuters. From there, cycle through the serene and historic Colony Farm section, which features more than 150 bird species and is one of the most biodiverse parts of the region.

It’s your chance to discover quiet, safe, beautiful routes for excursions or everyday trips. Feel the sun on your face and the wind in your hair. Get fi t. Save money. Fall in love with your commute.

Looking for a New Best Friend?Meet Eppie

Lop Eared Male 3.5 yearsHandsome Eppie was surrendered to the BC SPCA by his previous owners when they had developed allergies to him. He is a curious bunny, and after lots of interaction from our volunteers has become a sociable boy! He can be easily scared in new surroundings, but he will open up once he is comfortable.

Introducing IggyAdult Male 2.5 yearsIggy was brought to the Quesnel SPCA when his previous owner moved, leaving him behind. Soon after, Iggy came to the Port Coquitlam SPCA from Quesnel through our Drive for Lives Programme.

Unfortunately we don’t know anythingabout the kind of home he came from, but he is a very friendly, at times chatty boy who loves to rub

and cuddle. He is very sweet and would love to go to a home where he can curl up next to you, getting all the attention his heart desires. Iggy is a bit too curious for the other cats, so he’d be best in a home with no other cats or very young children(under 8 years old).

The RiverWatch Program is a non-technical community based initiative, which was started in late 1997. The Lower Coquitlam River Watershed has been divided into nineteen different reaches to be walked by RiverWatchers on a monthly basis. A map and description of the reaches is available with a RiverWatch Package. The Coquitlam River is very diverse and each reach may have a different kind of threat or a natural beauty.

The RiverWatchers are asked to fi ll out a data sheet for each reach they walk which are available in paper form or can be sent and received via email on Microsoft Word. The data sheets are very easy to fi ll out and consist of the following topics: human activities, litter & pollutants, water quality, wildlife and general comments. The comments from the data sheets are used for our monthly newsletter that is distributed to all levels of government and our members. We hope you will fi nd this an easy way to make a difference to your environment.

Your watershed is a fragile entity that needs more and more protection and commitment from all of us that use it.

If you would like more information on our group, please email Ian at [email protected] or phone 604-939-4039.
