What a day, Port Coquitlam! 🎆

More than 20,000 residents and visitors filled Castle Park yesterday for our biggest celebration of the year, a full day of live music, food trucks, market vendors, family activities and a spectacular fireworks finale.

Thank you to our incredible City staff, volunteers, sponsors, community partners, performers and everyone who worked behind the scenes to make Canada Day such a success.

You filled Castle Park with Canadian pride, community spirit, and everything that makes Port Coquitlam such a special place to call home.

45 years ago today, we lost Terry Fox, just one month before his 23rd birthday.

Though his life was far too short, his legacy continues to grow with each passing generation.

Today, on behalf of a grateful people in @CityofPoCo and beyond, we humbly laid flowers at Terry’s resting place in the community he called home.

Thank you, Terry. Port Coquitlam will always carry your spirit forward.

I’m incredibly disappointed to share that our Terry Fox statue was vandalized.

We’ll repair the damage.

But what Terry stood for—courage, determination, and hope— that can never be damaged.

If you have information regarding this act of vandalism please report it to the RCMP Non-Emergency line at 604-945-1550 and reference file number 2026-800624

Update on Fire at 2209 Atkins Avenue:

This morning, May 7, at approximately 9:20am, Port Coquitlam Fire & Emergency Services responded to a three-storey residential structure fire at 2209 Atkins Avenue.

The fire has been contained and all roads are now open. Crews remain on scene completing overhaul operations, supporting the fire investigation, and assisting residents in retrieving essential items where safe to do so.

Two confirmed injuries were reported related to smoke inhalation and minor burns. No reported fatalities. Emergency Support Services has been activated, and accommodations and essential supports are being provided for residents who have been displaced.

City Public Works crews were working in the area when they noticed smoke, immediately called 911, and entered the building to help ensure occupants were evacuating. Their quick actions provided important early notification and gave residents more time to safely leave the building.

“On behalf of Council and our community, I want to thank Port Coquitlam Fire & Emergency Services, our Public Works crews, Emergency Support Services volunteers, and all emergency responders for their quick, professional and coordinated response,” said Mayor Brad West. “A fire like this is devastating for residents, but the actions taken today helped protect lives, pets and personal belongings. Our thoughts are with everyone impacted, and the City will continue supporting affected residents throughout the recovery process.”

The cause of the fire remains under investigation. At this time, it does not appear suspicious; however, a final determination has not been made.
