Facilitator Alden Habacon says each evening will be an opportunity for people to enjoy a delicious multi-course ethnic meal while meeting other locals and sharing Coquitlam experiences around the dinner table.

"We want people who are passionate, concerned about the future of Coquitlam and really would like to connect more with those that live in Coquitlam… newcomers, people here for generations I hope we get a good mix," said Habacon, who is also UBC's director of intercultural understanding.

Habacon said participants can expect a terrific meal over several courses with a discussion after each serving based on questions he will present to guide the dialogue.
