Glen Pine and Dogwood Pavilions are offering a frozen meal delivery program.
The meals are $7.50 each and payment by credit card is taken over the phone or online. Frozen meal orders are delivered for free to isolated Coquitlam residents who are 50 yrs+ by 2 p.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays (schedule may change with civic holidays). A pickup option is also available from Glen Pine or Dogwood pavilions.

Local businesses are at the heart of our community. We can all do our part to help our local businesses recover from the economic impact of COVID-19. Here’s how:
- Dine-in, sit on a patio, enjoy take-out or delivery from one of more than 200 restaurants in the city. Full list at: visitcoquitlam.ca/eat-drink.
- Try something new. Coquitlam offers a variety of culinary flavours including Korean, Singaporean, Afghan, Filipino, Persian and more!
- Consider your local options first. Find businesses that are open for shopping at wegotthistricities.com. Many offer online shopping or curbside pick-up.
- Treat yourself – or someone else. Pick up something special from a local store and make someone’s day a little brighter.
- Buy gift cards for future use.
