Coquitlam residents are being invited to help create a community display honouring veterans leading up to Remembrance Day.
The city’s Park Spark team will be at Coquitlam’s Blue Mountain Park to coordinate Coquitlam Remembers where it’s hoped residents will drop around to paint a poppy on the lawn, or a sky flag to be mounted on the tennis court fence or to write a message of remembrance on yellow ribbons to be tied on trees in the park. The ribbons will be kept up until Nov. 18 when they’ll be transcribed and forwarded to a veteran’s organization.
The staff will be near the corner of King Albert Avenue and Veterans Way, also known as Porter Street starting Thursday and going until Saturday, Nov. 10. The times are:
• Thursday, Nov. 1, 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.
• Friday, Nov. 2, 3 to 7 p.m.
• Saturday, Nov. 3, 1 to 4 p.m.
• Sunday, Nov. 4, 1 to 4 p.m.
• Monday, Nov. 5, 1 to 4 p.m.
• Tuesday, Nov. 6, 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.
• Wednesday, Nov. 7, 3 to 7 p.m.
• Thursday, Nov. 8, 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.
• Friday, Nov. 9, 1 to 4 p.m.
• Saturday, Nov. 10, 1 to 4 p.m.
Activities will take place rain or shine. Supplies will be provided and all ages are welcome. Wearing clothing appropriate for painting or working outdoors is advised. For updates or more information go to coquitlam.ca/parkspark.
