Hi neighbours,
As the days get shorter and darkness sets in earlier during our evening commutes, road safety becomes more critical than ever.

With changing weather and reduced visibility around Burke Mountain and surrounding areas, please remember to:
👉Turn on your headlights early, even before it feels completely dark.
👉Slow down and increase your following distance on wet or slippery roads.
👉Watch out for pedestrians and cyclists who are much harder to spot in the dark.

Let's look out for one another and keep our neighborhood safe this season!

Election Day is tomorrow, Saturday, October 17! Make your voice heard and help shape the future of our community, from parks and local services to housing and public safety.
A map of voting locations is available at coquitlam.ca/elections by clicking on “Voting Locations”

Join more than 6,700 voters who have already cast their ballot in Coquitlam’s municipal election and vote! Saturday, October 17 is the last chance for eligible voters to decide who will represent them at City Hall and on the School District 43 School Board.

Cities make decisions that affect everyday lives: parks and recreation, public safety, community planning and housing, business zoning, property taxes, festivals and events, and more. Plus, municipalities provide important services such as water, sewer, roads, fire protection and policing.

Being a voter is important. In our 2022 election, just over one-quarter of eligible voters made their way to the polls. Let’s get out and vote, Coquitlam!
