Port Coquitlam, Residential city in Metro Vancouver, Canada

Port Coquitlam extends across flat terrain at 30 meters elevation between the Fraser and Pitt Rivers, surrounded by mountains and natural landscapes.

The Canadian Pacific Railway established a freight terminus in 1911, leading to the incorporation of Port Coquitlam as a municipality in March 1913.

The city maintains strong connections to Terry Fox, who grew up in Port Coquitlam before initiating his cross-Canada Marathon of Hope in 1980.

The transportation network includes major roads like Lougheed Highway and Shaughnessy Street, with TransLink providing regular bus services throughout the area.

The winter season transforms the downtown area through events like Christmas in the Square and the Parade of Lights in December.
