Once Upon A Time in Port Coquitlam – A Book of Memories
PoCo Heritage looks forward to 2013 when the City of Port Coquitlam will celebrate its 100th birthday. E-mail your story for our Book of Memories to pocoheritage1@gmail.com It can be as small as one sentence or as much as a full page. Pictures of you or Port Coquitlam to illustrate your story would be wonderful.
Port Coquitlam Heritage and Cultural Society
Established in 1988, the Society preserves Port Coquitlam's history and culture for future generations. We coordinate displays at the Display Centre, City Hall and Terry Fox Library. These displays feature historical photographs, First Nations artifacts, tools, collectables, maps and antiques. Society members also catalogue historical photographs, newspapers and documents. We are assisting the City of Port Coquitlam with implementation of the Heritage Strategic Plan and the Heritage Register. We are building a collection of modern-day heritage related photographs and videos, which can be seen here. Please contact the Society if you have modern day photographs or videos that could be displayed online.
Don't forget to look out for our quarterly newsletter in Curves McAllister St, Waves Coffee House Shaughnessy St, and other local businesses, or view online at our website.

Volunteer your talents, skills and time on our various committees which include Technology, Membership, and Fund Raising. And check those boxes in your attic or basement for memorabilia, photos and historical information you can donate to the Society.
