<span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin">Coquitlam Heritage preserves, honours, and promotes the heritage of Coquitlam. We collect stories and objects that hold history and represent
who has lived in Coquitlam and who chooses to live here today. We celebrate our community members' traditions, experiences, and festivities, while holding space to remember and honour their tragedies and challenges. This is done through our exhibits both at
Mackin House, a 1910 heritage home which is our current operational base, and out in the community and through programmes, workshops, and community events. Our exhibits are displayed at Mackin House and in places within Coquitlam's community.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">

Heritage has significantly increased our reflection of Coquitlam's diversity in our events, exhibits, and board composition. In developing an Anti-Racist heritage organization, we are committed to celebrating the diverse voices in the Coquitlam community through
our exhibits and events, tell cultural stories only with participation from members of that community, and fill the gaps in our historical records so that all members of our community are recognized and celebrated in our collections.</span><o:p> </o:p></p>
