  • Coquitlam's Draft Thematic Framework
    Coquitlam's Draft Thematic Framework July 2020 What is a Thematic Framework? A thematic framework is a structure that uses themes to help conceptualize past events and to place sites, people and events into their historical context. Historical themes are defined as key ideas for describing a major historical force or process which has contributed to the history and evolution of a place. Thematic frameworks have a number of interconnected uses in the identification and management of heritage resources. They are an important tool for both the contextual overview of heritage resources and the comparative analysis of the significance of individual resources. Themes guide judgements about what types of heritage resources might exist on a site or in an area, and assist in the assessment of their heritage significance. The use of major themes can draw attention to gaps in existing histories. Thematic frameworks support value-based heritage Thematic Frameworks… conservation currently considered best practices in •They succinctly encapsulate Canada.

  • 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 2016 Census. We work very hard to verify all the published statistics but absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed due to the multiple sources accessed.
