Port Coquitlam residents can start signing up for winter 2027 city programs on Tuesday, November 17 at 8:00 a.m., the City of Port Coquitlam announced. Registration opens to the general public on Friday, November 20 at 8:00 a.m. Sign-ups happen online at portcoquitlam.ca/register, and the full lineup is in the winter leisure guide at portcoquitlam.ca/leisureguide.
The winter season covers swimming and skating lessons, fitness and yoga, adult sports such as pickleball, basketball, badminton and volleyball, arts classes, children's and youth programs, seniors activities, and Pro-D Day and Spring Break camps. New this season, according to the city, are City Forest Playschool, a nature-based play program for preschoolers, and an Aqua All-Star/Super Stars swim program for preschoolers. Youth aged 11 to 18 can try a different "Try It!" activity each week, and seniors are invited to a free New Member Info Session about the Senior Services Membership.
The city says eligible families can get a 75 per cent discount on activities, including camps, through its Financial Assistance Program, and Recreation Program Support is available to help children and youth take part in registered activities. Details are at portcoquitlam.ca/accessinclusion.
To get ready, the city suggests creating or updating your ActiveNet account ahead of time, checking that family members' details are correct, and using the "heart" feature to build a wishlist so you can register quickly on the day. Programs were made available to preview online starting November 10. To update a child's allergy, support needs or emergency contact information, call 604-927-PLAY (7529).
