Onto the next stage of Port Coquitlam's downtown revitalization! Construction fencing will go up around Leigh Square at the end of July to start a major update of the Leigh Square plaza and celebration space, including an open and accessible design, extension of Donald Pathway, new performance area, lighting, seating and other features.

“It’s exciting to see tangible progress on this project, which builds on the work we’ve been doing to support livability and economic development in our downtown,” Brad West, Port Coquitlam Mayor said. “Throughout our Civic Centre upgrades, we’re remaining true to our vision of the downtown as a safe, welcoming and thriving hub that attracts visitors and residents. Others are investing in our vision as well, with new housing construction and growing interest from businesses in the downtown and Port Coquitlam as a whole. As we see our vision through, we’ll continue to make decisions that protect our taxpayers while delivering the downtown improvements the community has been calling for.”
