Coquitlam Remembers
Honouring Veterans in Meaningful Ways
In recognition of the achievements and sacrifices of those who have served our nation in times of war and military conflict, Coquitlam residents are encouraged to show their respect for veterans in a variety of ways this year:
• Poppy Painting and Messages of Remembrance along Veteran’s Way: Stop by Blue Mountain Park (975 King Albert Avenue) to paint large poppy on the grass as part of a temporary display. Participation takes places daily starting on Sunday, November 5 until Thursday, November 9 from 12 – 4:30 p.m.
• Poppy Painting at Spirit Square: Join us at Spirit Square on Burlington Drive, across the street from Coquitlam City Hall, on Thursday, November 9 from 9:30 – 11:30 a.m. to add your painted poppy to the temporary outdoor display
