City Council is a legislative body that provides leadership to the City’s government, and is elected every four years by the citizens of Port Coquitlam.

Council is made up of the Mayor and six Councillors. The Mayor chairs the Council meetings.

Port Coquitlam City Council is committed to ensuring the priorities of local citizens guide its policies and decisions on civic matters, such as land use and budgets.

Committee of Council

Committee of Council will replace all previous committees. All city matters requiring a Council decision will now first be discussed by Committee of Council, which will either request changes or further information, or send them on to Council for a formal decision. This committee structure is common in many other cities and helps streamline the decision-making process.
