Coquitlam

Coquitlam lies along the Coquitlam River, where the wooded slopes of Burke Mountain rise above Metro Vancouver’s urban lowlands. The city reaches south toward the Fraser River and forms part of the Tri-Cities with Port Coquitlam and Port Moody. Its name is linked to the Kwikwetlem First Nation, whose territory includes this area, while the river watershed remains important salmon habitat. Maillardville, established in 1909 by French-Canadian workers at Fraser Mills, retains the Mackin House Museum, a former mill manager’s home. Lafarge Lake in Town Centre Park adds a distinctly urban waterside setting. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Coquitlam and the Lower Mainland.
