Our community is invited to attend the inauguration of the City Council that will lead the community for the next four years. The inauguration will take place on Monday, November 9 at 6pm at the Port Coquitlam Community Centre, Mabbett Hall (2150 Wilson Avenue). It marks the first meeting of the new Council elected on October 17, 2026.
The ceremony will open with a procession led by a piper, an RCMP honour guard in red serge and a Port Coquitlam Fire & Emergency Services honour guard. A Provincial Court judge will then administer the Oath of Office to the Mayor and Council. The program also includes the inaugural address by the Mayor and remarks from each Councillor. A reception with light refreshments will follow, giving residents an opportunity to meet their new Council.
The inauguration is held at the Port Coquitlam Community Centre to encourage community participation. The event is free and open to the public, and ample seating and parking are available. Public seating is first come, first served, and those attending are asked to be in their seats before 6pm.
