Mayor Greg Moore is pleased to announce a new directive that will foster a new philosophy to help the City of Port Coquitlam preserve the community’s heritage assets -- it is called Heritage First.
The Heritage First program has two main focuses:
Through the Port Coquitlam City’s Social Inclusion Committee, Councillor Wright and Councillor Pollack, along with our citizen advisors Pippa Van Velzen, Pat Dales and William Summersgill, will lead the City in developing a Heritage Strategic and Conservation Plan in 2009.
We will ensure City Council, city staff and any future developers know and understand the importance of our built heritage and look for opportunities to preserve and restore it.
Together we can make the difference. Together we can work to change the laws at the federal and provincial government. Together we can make the changes necessary at the local level. Together we can work towards the goal of opening the Port Coquitlam Museum on March 7, 2013.
Stay tuned as we move forward to perserve our heritage.
