As bears start to wake up and other wildlife peek out this spring, Coquitlam Mounties are reminding residents to be alert and to lock up their garbage.

Canada Day celebrations will likely have a big turnout, Coquitlam council said this week as city staff start to form a long-term festival and events strategy.
Coun. Craig Hodge said if the weather on July 1 is good, the municipality can expect to see more than 100,000 people flock to Town Centre Park for the city-run party to recognize the country’s birthday and to show patriotism in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs and threats of annexation.
