Hey PoCo is a community news site and free daily newsletter for people who live and work in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. Our tagline says what we are about: Your neighbourhood. Your news.
What we cover
City hall decisions, road work and closures, schools, local businesses, events, and the volunteers and neighbours who make Port Coquitlam what it is. We focus on Port Coquitlam first, and include Tri-Cities and regional news only when it directly affects people here.
How we work
- We gather public announcements and local reporting from sources we list on every story.
- We use software, including artificial intelligence, to help find, sort and draft summaries. A person reviews and approves every story before it is published.
- When we summarize another publisher's reporting, we keep it brief and link to the original so you can read their full story.
- We never invent news, quotations or details. If we get something wrong, we correct it openly. See our corrections policy.
How we are funded
Hey PoCo is supported by local advertising and sponsorships. Paid content is always clearly labelled, and advertisers do not buy editorial coverage. See our advertising policy.
Our connection to Vanson Media
Hey PoCo is operated by the owner of Vanson Media, a real estate photography, video, drone, floor plan and virtual tour business. Some homes featured on Hey PoCo are listings photographed by Vanson Media, and those are identified. Featured homes are a small part of the site: Hey PoCo is a community publication first.
