In honour of Public Works Week, we have an annual Public Works Open House! The festival-style event has educational and fun activities for all ages, including:
- Hands-on displays for each area of Public Works
- Heavy machinery on display and in action — garbage truck, backhoe, snow plough, and more, as well as sign making and traffic signal demos
- Free children’s activities including balloon animals, buggy ride, flower planting, and tractor-pulled rides
- Free compost — bring your own containers
- BBQ by donation — proceeds to Share Society
The open house is intended to raise awareness about the public works services that residents use every day. In Port Coquitlam, the Public Works division provides waste collection services and maintains and improves City infrastructure, such as streets and sidewalks; parks, trails and public spaces; the sewer, water and drainage system; and the City fleet.
