What’s in Store for 2022 Youth Week
The fun kicks off May 1 with Youth Yoga and a week-long scavenger hunt. Youth ages 11 to 18 doing the scavenger hunt must register online by May 1 at www.coquitlam.ca/youthweek to be eligible to win a prize. Once registered, clues will be emailed each day. Participants will take selfies at various Coquitlam locations and submit them for prizes at the end of the week. Youth can participate with friends or on their own.
Daily pre-registered activities are running May 1 to 7 at locations including Pinetree and Poirier community centres, Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex (PSLC) and City Centre Aquatic Complex (CCAC). Most are aimed at the 13 to 18 age group, with a few opportunities for ages 11 to 14.
