32 places you can get free Wi-Fi in Coquitlam

Parks, city facilities among dozens of new Wi-Fi hubs the city

Coquitlam city parks and trails are becoming outdoor social spaces for thousands of residents during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Every day people are outside enjoying a picnic, a walk, a cycle or a few reflective moments.

But being outdoors doesn’t mean they have to give up Wi-Fi service, thanks to a city initiative to provide free Wi-Fi service.

This summer Coquitlam is announcing that free Wi-Fi is available at dozens of parks and public amenities across the city, meaning people can stay connected while they enjoy nature and a break from their daily lives.

Now there are 32 Wi-Fi spots in the city, with one more coming this year.

The free Wi-Fi allows Coquitlam residents to get outdoors while staying socially connected and being able to access information, such as the free CoquitlamSPIRIT programs, the upcoming online Canada Day event and City services through the CoquitlamConnect app.

A major expansion of the network has taken place in 2019 and 2020 as part of a two-year plan to double the number of public Wi-Fi locations in the City.
