  • George Black — Early Pioneer Settler on the Coquitlam River
    George Black — Early Pioneer Settler on the Coquitlam River Researched and written by Ralph Drew, Belcarra, BC, December 2018. The ‘Colony of British Columbia’ was proclaimed at Fort Langley on November 19th,1858. In early 1859, Colonel Richard Clement Moody, RE, selected the site for the capital of the colony on the north side of the Fraser River where the river branches. The Royal Engineers established their camp at ‘Sapperton’ and proceeded to layout the future townsite of ‘Queensborough’ (later ‘New Westminster’). On July 17th, 1860, ‘New Westminster’ incorporated to become the first municipality in Western Canada. During the winter of 1858–59, the Fraser River froze over for several months and Colonel Moody realized his position when neither supply boat nor gun-boat could come to his aid in case of an attack. As a consequence, Colonel Moody built a “road” to Burrard Inlet in the summer of 1859 as a military expediency, in order that ships might be accessible via salt water. The “road” was initially just a pack trail that was built due north from ‘Sapperton’ in a straight line to Burrard Inlet. In 1861, the pack trail was upgraded to a wagon road ― known today as ‘North Road’. (1) The ‘Pitt River Road’ from New Westminster to ‘Pitt River Meadows’ was completed in June 1862. (2) In the summer of 1859, (3)(4) the first European family to settle in the Coquitlam area arrived on the schooner ‘Rob Roy’ on the west side of the Pitt River to the area known as ‘Pitt River Meadows’ (today ‘Port Coquitlam’) — Alexander McLean (1809–1889), his wife (Jane), and their two small boys: Alexander (1851–1932) and Donald (1856–1930).

The Archives settled into its new home on Pinetree Way in January and enjoyed the increased space and visibility the new location offered. The Archives presented three exhibits in the new space, while continuing to explore Coquitlam’s past through the popular online exhibit program. A new reference services model was rolled out in the second half of the year that included drop-in opening hours. The Archives continued its successful acquisition program, which resulted in a number of fascinating collections added to the permanent holdings. A significant digitization project made hundreds of historical Council Committee Minutes available to researchers online. Finally, the vital arrangement and description work continued to ensure the Archives’ holdings are preserved and made available to the community. CITY OF COQUITLAM | ARCHIVES 3 2019 HIGHLIGHTS A NEW HOME All of the Archives’ holdings are now conveniently preserved in a single location with a regulated temperature.

  • Acknowledgement
    ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This Economic Profile was originally produced by the Chamber of Commerce Serving Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody under the direction of the Chamber's Economic Development Committee in 1986 and has since been updated several times. The funding for the Economic Profile was provided in part by the local Municipalities and the Chamber of Commerce. We would like to recognize the following groups or individuals for their assistance; this profile would not have been possible without: The City of Coquitlam The City of Port Coquitlam The City of Port Moody Metro Vancouver The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver Fraser Health (Simon Fraser Health Unit) Organizations that contributed a tremendous amount of assistance and information were: The Metro Vancouver Strategic Planning Dept. Statistics Canada Fraser Health (Simon Fraser Health Unit) The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver Coquitlam City Planning Port Moody Planning Port Coquitlam City Planning The Province of British Columbia Tri-Cities Welcoming Communities For a project of this nature, there are many organizations and individuals who, at some point in the process, take time to assist in bringing the Profile together, but who go unmentioned simply because of the constraints of space and because they are so great in number. To those people and organizations, the Chamber of Commerce extends its appreciation for their work and effort toward a job well done. Much of the statistical information in the Economic Profile is obtained from Statistics Canada’s 2016 Census. We work very hard to verify all the published statistics but absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed due to the multiple sources accessed.

  • Parent Page Winter 2013 ...Continued
    The Parent Page Winter 2013 Promoting Positive Behaviour No one likes nagging, yelling and punishing, neither adults who do it nor children who are on the receiving end. Here are a few ways to encourage the kind of behaviour that can make the day go more smoothly for everyone. Organize to prevent problems Organize the environment to make it easy for children to do the right thing. For example, install coat hooks and toy storage shelves where children can reach them; put away breakables. Provide enough appropriate supplies and materials for everyone. Supervise carefully, be observant and act to change the situation before behaviour gets out of control. Keep a routine Establish some structure and routines throughout the day. Prepare children for upcoming activities. “After the toys are put away, we’ll put on our jackets and go outside to play.” Make sure that children have nutritious snacks and meals. Avoid too much TV or any long periods of inactivity. Decide what’s negotiable and what’s not Set simple, firm, clear limits which apply to everyone.
