Port Coquitlam: Hwy 7B, on Mary Hill at Kingsway Ave, looking west

Port Coquitlam sits between the Coquitlam and Pitt rivers in British Columbia’s Metro Vancouver, where the Fraser River forms its southern edge and the Coast Mountains rise beyond the urban plain. Incorporated in 1913, it developed around rail links and remains a compact city within the broader Tri-Cities area with Coquitlam and Port Moody. The Traboulay PoCo Trail traces dikes, parks and neighbourhoods beside the rivers, while downtown businesses cluster near the West Coast Express station. Port Coquitlam is also the hometown of Terry Fox, whose Marathon of Hope made him a national figure.

British Columbia has served as Canada’s Pacific frontier since joining Confederation in 1871. This vast western province extends from the Pacific coast across the Coast Mountains and interior plateaus to the Canadian Rockies; these coordinates lie in its sparsely settled northern interior. The Fraser, British Columbia’s longest river, drains a large part of the province before reaching the Strait of Georgia. First Nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain integral to communities throughout the province. Victoria, on Vancouver Island, is the provincial capital, while Vancouver is its largest city and a major Pacific port. Forestry, mining, fisheries and outdoor travel all reflect a terrain where waterways and mountain corridors matter.

Canada has served as a frontier between French and British colonial powers since the 17th century. The world’s second-largest country extends from Atlantic shores to the Pacific and Arctic coasts, with the Canadian Shield, the Rocky Mountains, the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River shaping its vast geography. First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples are central to Canada’s identity, while Ottawa’s Parliament Hill represents its federal political life. French remains the official language of Quebec, adding a distinct dimension to the country’s public culture. See how Canada connects across North America by browsing webcams in neighbouring regions.
