.⚠️

Reminder: Stage 2 Water Restrictions, set by Metro Vancouver, are in effect for the entire region, including Port Coquitlam. With snowpack at half of normal levels and hot weather in the long-range forecast, we need to save our clean water for where we need it most — drinking, cooking, and cleaning.

Know the current restrictions:

🚫 Lawn watering: Not allowed
🚫 Pressure washing: Not allowed (unless for health or safety reasons, for the purpose of preparing a surface for painting or similar treatment, or completed by a hired commercial cleaner)
🚫 Topping up decorative water features: Not allowed
🟡 Watering trees, shrubs, and flowers: Sprinkler watering is allowed during set times (5am-9am for residents, 4am-9am for businesses), and manual watering is allowed anytime (must use a hose with a shut-off device, soaker hose, water container, or drip irrigation)
🟢 Watering vegetable gardens: Allowed anytime
🟢 Washing cars and boats: Allowed (Must use hand-held hose with shut-off nozzle)
🟢 Pools & hot tubs: Allowed

Metro Vancouver may activate Stage 3 water restrictions in early June. We will keep you updated.

Have questions? Check out our FAQs at portcoquitlam.ca/wateritright. Thank you for doing your part to conserve water.

For Mental Health Awareness Week, our team headed out for Walk a Mile.

It was a chance to step away from the screens, get some fresh air, and just be present with one another.

We often talk about "ending the stigma," but what does that actually look like? To us, it's showing up, lacing up, and walking side-by-side to prove that no one in our community should have to face their mental health journey alone.

There’s something powerful about moving forward together. It reminds us that even when the road feels steep, we don’t have to climb it by ourselves.

🌿 A gentle reminder: If things are feeling heavy right now, please don't carry it all on your own. Reach out to a local professional or a mental health helpline. There is absolutely no shame in asking for a hand.

Let’s keep looking out for each other. One step at a time. ❣
