Back: Expressions of Local History to be held at Place des Arts in Coquitlam. The Coquitlam Heritage Society is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a special exhibition highlighting the organization’s past, its efforts documenting oral histories and gathering

a particular event in Coquitlam you have visited over the years? Do you feel nostalgic about a certain location? Annual family picnics in a local park, memories of tobogganing down a steep hill, the strangeness of immigrating to a new place, discovering favourite
shops, a game played in one of the many school sports teams, we want you to tell your story through art.</span></p>
