A former vice president of Riverview Hospital will talk next week about the facility and its 244 acres at the Coquitlam campus of Douglas College.
Dr. John Higenbottam, a clinical psychologist and author of "Into the Future: the Coquitlam Health Campus - A Vision for the Riverview Lands," a report written for the city of Coquitlam in 2014, will be the keynote speaker at an event organized by the Coalition for a Healthy Riverview.
The newly formed group, which was featured on the front page of The Tri-City News last month, aims to drum up support in the lead up to the May provincial election with the aim to keep the property in public hands and used to treat mental health patients.
Other speakers at the March 22 lecture include Coalition founders Amy Lubik and James Bobick.
