COQUITLAM, B.C., March 12, 2024 – Coquitlam’s Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex at 633 Poirier Street will undergo its annual maintenance closure on the pool and fitness centre starting Tuesday, April 2.
The pool will reopen for use on Monday, May 6 while the fitness centre will reopen on Monday, April 8. During this time, the reception desk will be open from 9 - 5 p.m. (April 2 -7) and will return to regular hours April 8 onward.
Maintenance Vital for Daily Public Use
As the swimming pool at Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex is open to the public every day and the systems run continuously, the closure is necessary for maintenance and cleaning that cannot be completed while the facility is open. The closure ensures a safe environment for staff and the public, reduces the likelihood of equipment failures and extends the life of this important City asset.
Alternative Options Available
Guests can still swim in Coquitlam at City Centre Aquatic Complex at 1210 Pinetree Way. Hours and details are available at coquitlam.ca/CCAC.
Drop-in fitness classes and weightroom access are available at a number of different City facilities. Find schedules, locations and facility information at coquitlam.ca/fitness.
Coquitlam residents can also visit the Bettie Allard YMCA at 555 Emerson Street during resident access times. Through a partnership with the YMCA, Coquitlam residents can access the pool and fitness facilities for special resident rates, without the need to be a YMCA member. Find the rates and pool schedule at gv.ymca.ca/coquitlam-resident-access-rate.

We acknowledge with gratitude and respect that the name Coquitlam was derived from the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ (HUN-kuh-MEE-num) word kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (kwee-KWET-lum) meaning “Red Fish Up the River”. The City is honoured to be located on the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm traditional and ancestral lands, including those parts that were historically shared with the q̓ic̓əy̓ (kat-zee), and other Coast Salish Peoples.
