Craig Hodge, Cllr. Terry O’Neill, Cllr. Bonita Zarrillo, Cllr. Mae Reid, Mayor Richard Stewart, Cllr. Brent Asmundson, Cllr. Teri Towner, Cllr. Dennis Marsden, Cllr. Chris Wilson. Welcome to Coquitlam! We’re excited to show the Communities in Bloom evaluation team what we love about our city. This is a special year for Coquitlam, as we mark our 125th anniversary. It’s an opportunity for us to celebrate our accomplishments, while engaging our residents and businesses to build a stronger and more connected community. This work is translating into more volunteerism and civic pride, stronger community engagement, a tidier community, beautification efforts by property owners, and a desire to preserve local history and the environment. These are all objectives we share with the Communities in Bloom program. Since our provincial Communities in Bloom win in 2015, we’ve been working hard to build on our success and act on the evaluation committee’s recommendations. Mayor's Message Mayor's We’re looking forward to showing you our progress and making you a fan of our city! Look for this icon throughout the book to find out about our new initiatives for 2015/16!

  • From the Mill to the Hill: Race, Gender, and Nation in the Making of a French-Canadian Community in Maillardville, Bc, 1909-1939
    FROM THE MILL TO THE HILL: RACE, GENDER, AND NATION IN THE MAKING OF A FRENCH-CANADIAN COMMUNITY IN MAILLARDVILLE, BC, 1909-1939 by Genevieve Lapointe B.A., Universite Laval, 2002 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Sociology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA May 2007 © Genevieve Lapointe, 2007 ABSTRACT This study looks at the making of a French-Canadian community in Maillardville, British Columbia, between 1909 and 1939. Drawing on oral history transcripts, as well as textual and visual documents, From the Mill to the Hill explores how complicated and contested relations of race, class, gender, and sexuality intertwined to constitute a French-Canadian identity and community in Maillardville prior to the Second World War. Using critical discourse analysis as methodology, this study examines the narratives of 23 men and women who were interviewed in the early 1970s and lived in Maillardville in the period preceding that war. Newspaper articles, city council minutes, company records, church records, as well as historical photographs culled from various archives and a local museum, also serve as primary documents. From the Mill to the Hill argues that a French-Canadian identity and community was constructed in Maillardville between 1909 and 1939 through the racialization of bodies and spaces. Narratives about the myth of the frontier, the opposite "other," and the racialization of the space in and around the company town of Fraser Mills illustrate how identity construction operated within a gendered and racialized framework. Secondly, this study excavates the fragile "whiteness" of French Canadians as both colonizers and colonized in British Columbia.

    Maillardville Community Profile 2019 Located on the lower south slope of Southwest Coquitlam, Maillardville covers 277 hectares (684 acres) and its hillside setting offers superb views of the Fraser River, Mount Baker and distant skylines. Named for Father Edmond Maillard, Maillardville is the City’s most historic neighbourhood established over 100 years ago when French-Canadian settlers came to work at the Canadian Western Lumber Company sawmill (at Fraser Mills). Maillardville’s early history was also influenced by the Chinese, Japanese, and Sikh labourers living nearby at Millside (the Fraser Mills company town) and later Scandinavian migration in the 1920s and 30s. Rooted in its heritage and legacy, Maillardville’s built form has developed over the decades and now exhibits an eclectic blend of old and new.

Each of the towers is a standout — lit- erally.

The organizer of the Shaughnessy sales and marketing campaign, Cam Good of TheKey. com, thinks that the suburban- urban divide is disappearing as down- towns, or town centres, develop in Low- er Mainland municipalities outside Van- couver. “The idea of where is ‘cool’ is shifting,” Good says. “The suburbs have centres with their own restaurants, shops and events.” The Shaughnessy homes, Good reports, are appealing to a wide range of buyers. About one-third of the homes have been sold, by an equal mix of first-time home- buyers, downsizers and would-be land- lords.

Consulting Ltd. is recognized as an industry leader in designing and Preliminary Design Consultation implementing comprehensive public and stakeholder consultation programs. Utilizing best practices in consultation, the firm designs consultation programs to maximize opportunities for input. Kirk & Co. works with polling firms to independently analyze and report on large volumes of public and stakeholder input. Synovate Ltd. is an internationally recognized market research firm. All consultation input received by feedback form and written submission was independently verified and analyzed by Synovate. Participants self-selected into consultation rather than being selected randomly. Consultation feedback is not comparable to an opinion poll because respondents do not constitute a random sample. The views represented in this report reflect the priorities and concerns of consultation participants. They may not be representative of the views of the communities along the Evergreen Line and other stakeholders because participants self-selected into Preliminary Design Consultation. Although results are presented in the form of percentages, there are no margins of error for this data because there is no probability sample. The sample in question is based on self-selection, for which a sampling error cannot be measured.
