FALL 2017

SEPTEMBER – DECEMBER

Welcome to Coquitlam

Parks, Recreation & Culture Services

What do you think of our beautiful full-colour program guide?

Our new format is easier to use and better for the environment—and most importantly, it gives you more of the information you want in one place. Learn more about our new updated program guide at coquitlam.ca/programguides

WHAT DO YOU HAVE PLANNED THIS FALL? As you gear up for fall, leave room in your calendar for the great events hosted in our community.

For example, you can drop by City Hall on Sept. 20 for our sixth annual Welcome to Coquitlam event. It’s a great opportunity for new and longtime residents alike to find out more about City programs and services —from finance to recreation, recycling to transportation—and check out displays by a variety of community agencies.

And don’t miss the City and RCMP vehicles parked on Burlington Street.

Get more information at coquitlam.ca/welcome.

Fall is also time for Salmon Come Home, a free family event we co-host with the Hoy-Scott Watershed Society. Visit the Hoy Creek Hatchery on Oct. 22 for a fun day of nature and community, with live salmon demonstrations, music, habitat restoration work, interactive kids’ activities and educational exhibits. The highlight is watching the chum salmon returning to Hoy Creek. You can learn more at hoyscottcreeks.org

HEAD OUTDOORS THIS FALL If you like being in the fresh air, fall is a great time to visit Coquitlam’s many parks and trails. From fishing at Lafarge Lake, to autumn strolls at Mundy Walk, to the calorie-burning Coquitlam Crunch, there are plenty of reasons to get outdoors in our community this fall. Check out the Outdoor Recreation section of this guide or visit coquitlam.ca/parkfinder for a full list of parks and amenities.

Of course, our new guide is also a great source of ideas for fun, healthy and educational activities for you and your family this fall and winter.

Make sure to read it cover to cover so you don’t miss a thing!

Coquitlam has programs, events and activities for residents of all ages and abilities. Take your dog for a run in an off-leash park, catch a tournament at Town Centre Park or enjoy the fresh air on a hike through one of our many trails.

Whether you’re into yoga, swimming, arts or hiking, there is always something new to learn or a new friend to meet through Coquitlam recreation. Now is the time to try it, live it, learn it!

Find out more about what Coquitlam has to offer at coquitlam.ca/prc

PARKS

Find all Coquitlam parks and amenities at coquitlam.ca/ parkfinder Coquitlam has a vast network of parks and trails. Coquitlam's trail system, one of our most requested recreation amenities, totals over 90 kilometres. Our trails can be enjoyed by everyone whether it’s for fitness, pleasure or viewing wildlife and nature opportunities. Find more information about Coquitlam’s trails at coquitlam.ca/trails Coquitlam is also focused on improving existing parks. The Park Blitz began in spring 2017 and will take three years to complete. The blitz focuses on revitalizing 12 existing neighbourhood parks. The first parks to be completed under this project were Shiloh Park, Crestwood Park, Dawes Hill Park and Good Neighbour Park.

Weed Out Invasive Plants

Park Spark

Invasive plants kill native plants and destroy Coquitlam’s beautiful natural habitat. They spread aggressively and destroy the habitat of fish birds and other wildlife.

Bring Coquitlam Parks Alive!

We need your help: learn how to identify invasive plants and avoid planting or buying; never dump garden waste or hanging baskets into natural areas; volunteer for a local weed pull event to help remove invasive plants from a park; and dispose of invasive plant material in your Green Cart.

Invest your time, experience or expertise in Coquitlam parks!

There are many ways to get involved and spark your connection. Volunteer your time during our Remembrance Day activities at Blue Mountain Park or contribute to our lights display at Town Centre Park by particiapting one of our workshops.

For more information and to see upcoming activities and workshops, visit coquitlam.ca/parkspark

Coquitlam in Bloom A Blooming Great Place to Live Thanks to all of you who took part in the Coquitlam in Bloom events and supported our entry into the 2017 International Communities in Bloom Competition! This has been a year for the history books. We represented British Columbia in the MosaiCanada Display at Gatineau, Quebec, brought awareness to our local pollinators with pollinator plantings and celebrations at local parks, and celebrated Canada’s 150 with themed plantings and a photo library of 150 local gardens. Together, we have made our community a more beautiful place to be. We couldn’t have done it without all of you, who worked together to continue to make Coquitlam a place where people want to live and do business. Stay tuned in September for when the winner of the International Communities in Bloom Competition will be announced!

GETTING ALONG IN OUR NATURAL WORLD There’s lots to consider when you live in an urban environment that is so close to nature. Coquitlam has some helpful information and resources so you can enjoy the best of the natural world and protect it at the same time.

Be Bear Smart We live on nature’s doorstep and bears, cougars, coyotes, deer, raccoon, skunks and other wildlife are part of our environment. It is important that we avoid encouraging them to our properties by removing attractants, such as garbage, fruit, pet food and bird seed and preventing access to areas that wildlife may use as a den.

Visit coquitlam.ca/urbanwildlife to learn how to make your home and property wildlife-resistant.

Pesticides Say “No” to Harmful Pesticides—We Did! Coquitlam has a Pesticide Use Control bylaw that bans many conventional pesticides typically used for garden and lawn beautification or maintenance. Although you will see them for sale they cannot be used on residential and City land in Coquitlam. There are safe alternatives that are healthier for everyone—people, pets and the environment! For a full list of products you can use and for more information, visit coquitlam.ca/pesticides

Beetlemania The European Chafer Beetle!

The European Chafer beetle is an invasive insect pest.

Its larvae feed on the roots of grasses, causing serious damage to lawns. It is most visible when raccoons, birds and other wildlife, eager to eat the grubs, begin digging up grasses and damaging turf. The fall is a good time to do preventative lawn maintenance that can help minimize chafer beetle infestation in the spring.

Visit coquitlam.ca/chaferbeetle for a year-round calendar of lawn care tips and info on nematodes which are a safe alternative to banned pesticides.

Since changing to bi-weekly garbage collection, Coquitlam's waste diversion rate has jumped from 55% to over 73% (2015).

That means Coquitlam residents separated over 21,000 tonnes of green waste, food scraps and recyclables in 2015 to divert them from going to the landfill. We recognize it's not always easy to know where to recycle materials and to get rid of extra green waste. Let us help you!

Religion, Spirituality & Morality

The Shingles vaccine is recommended for adults over 50, but what exactly are Shingles?

There will be plenty of time after the presentation for questions. Presenter: Jeff Kim, Pharmacist from Save-on-Foods Austin Station

What is the basis of the moral choices we make? Religion has traditionally supplied the answer to this question in the form of rules and regulations ordained by God. But looking to the consequences of ones actions has been put forward as an alternative, non-religious basis, while ‘virtue’ based systems offer an more ancient source that seems to be coming back into vogue in some quarters. Let’s explore some of these together.
