Park Spark Coquitlam Remembers
Sunday, November 5, 2023
In recognition of the achievements and sacrifices of those who have served our nation in times of war and military conflict, The Park Spark Coquitlam Remembers program provides a variety of ways for the community to recognize their achievements and sacrifices :
- Poppy Painting and Messages of Remembrance along Veteran's Way: Stop by Blue Mountain Park (975 King Albert Avenue) to paint a large poppy on the grass along Veteran’s Way as part of a temporary display. While you are there, write a message of remembrance and tie it to a tree with yellow ribbon. The messages are kept on the trees until November 18 at which point they will be transcribed and forwarded to Canadian veteran groups. Participation takes place daily from Sunday, November 5 until Thursday, November 9 from 12 – 4:30 p.m.
- Poppy Painting at Spirit Square: Join us at Spirit Square on Burlington Drive, across the street from Coquitlam City Hall, on Thursday, November 9 from 9:30 – 11:30 a.m. to add your painted poppy to the temporary outdoor display.
