Youth Week
Coquitlam once again joins communities across B.C. to celebrate the diversity and positive contributions of youth during BC Youth Week from May 1 - 7.
Recreation staff have planned a full week of drop-in and registered activities at recreation facilities and City parks around the community including free contests, board games, art workshops, sports drop-ins, and wellness activities.
Sign Up for the Scavenger Hunt by May 1

Throughout the week, youth will receive daily emails with clues leading them to spots around Coquitlam, where they can snap selfies and uncover the city's hidden gems.
