6. I want to register online but don't want to give my email address, what do I do?

In order to register online, you will need an online login which requires an email address. You do not have to use your main email address; any email address will work. However, this is where all correspondence will be sent including password reset emails, registration confirmations, receipts, etc.

7. I don't want to register online; can I just register in person or over the phone?

Yes, you can register by phone at 604-927-4386 during customer service call centre hours.  

Phone registration hours:

• Monday – Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 6 p.m. (except statutory holidays) and weekends 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

9. If the program is full, how do I add myself to the waitlist?

You are not able to register for a program that is full, but you can add yourself to the waitlist. If a space opens for that program or additional sessions are added, you will be contacted by email. If you do not respond to the email within 24 hours then your space will be given to the next person on the waitlist. Placement on a waitlist does not guarantee a spot.

10. How do I know when I’ve successfully registered for a program?

You have successfully registered for a program, class, or activity when you click the “Checkout” button on the payment screen. You will receive a confirmation email with all of the details.

17. I have previously held an account with the City of Coquitlam, but I can't login.

Our previous database had accumulated client profiles that were obsolete or incomplete. To ensure that we only transferred current and accurate information into our new recreation software, not all accounts were transferred into the new system.
