Halloween-at-Home Kits

Starting Monday, Oct. 26, families can drop by Poirier Community Centre to pick up a free Halloween kit (while supplies last). Kits include a fun craft and a deliciously scary recipe geared to four different age groups: three to five, six to nine, 10 to 12, and 13 and up. No pre-registration is required. 

Pop by the community centre at 630 Poirier St. to pick up your kit weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Limit three kits per family. 

We'd love to see your completed Halloween crafts. Share photos with us on social media tagging #CoquitlamSPIRIT.
