Supporting One of Our Own

Behind every small business in Downtown Port Coquitlam is a person and a family.

Many in our community know Ray, get their hair cut by him, or bring their families to Rayz Barber Shop. Some of us have also received a piece of wisdom while sitting in his chair. Ray came to Canada from Iraq, built his business here through years of hard work, and created a life for his family in Port Coquitlam. His son Khalid grew up alongside the business and, by the age of 16, was already working beside his dad as a barber.

Recently, Ray and his family experienced an unimaginable tragedy with the sudden passing of Khalid at just 21 years old.

For a small business owner, stepping away from your business doesn’t mean the bills or responsibilities stop. Ray is the sole provider for his family, and Rayz Barber Shop is their source of income. Taking the time he needs to grieve, travel and be with his family also means closing the shop and losing that income at an already incredibly difficult time.

This is one of those moments when being a business community means more than simply doing business beside one another.

A GoFundMe has been created to help Ray with funeral, travel and family expenses and to give him some breathing room while he takes care of what matters most right now.

If you’re able, please consider donating. If you can’t, sharing Ray’s story helps too.

Let’s show Ray and his family that their Port Coquitlam community is standing beside them.

New Business Spotlight: The Meaning Place

There’s a new space opening in Downtown PoCo, built around connection, purpose and supporting local families.

The Meaning Place Adult Day Program is a new local business at 102 – 2264 Elgin Avenue, created to provide therapeutic recreation, meaningful social connection and caregiver respite for adults and their families.

Behind The Meaning Place is a local team led by Sarah Galt and Justeene Lauwers with a real focus on creating something that feels less clinical and more like a welcoming place to spend the day, somewhere people can build friendships, stay active, take part in meaningful activities and feel connected to their community. For caregivers, it also provides valuable time to step away knowing their loved one is somewhere safe, engaging and supported.

And tomorrow is a big day for them.

The Meaning Place is celebrating its Grand Opening Saturday, October 3 from 2:00–5:00 PM. Drop in, meet Sarah and the team, tour the new space, enjoy some drinks and nibbles, and learn more about what they’re bringing to Downtown PoCo. There will also be a ribbon cutting and door prizes.
