Coquitlam is a growing city in the Metro Vancouver region of British Columbia, situated between Burnaby and Port Coquitlam. Its name is derived from the Kwikwetlem First Nation, meaning "red fish up the river" in the Coast Salish language, a reference to the area's historical abundance of sockeye salmon. Formally incorporated in 1891, the city has evolved from a forestry-based community into a modern residential and commercial hub. Coquitlam is recognized for its hilly terrain and proximity to pristine wilderness, which supports outdoor activities like hiking and mountain biking. Major landmarks include Mundy Park, one of the largest urban parks in the region, and Lafarge Lake, famous for its elaborate seasonal light displays. The city is home to a diverse population, including one of the largest Korean communities in Canada. With the introduction of the SkyTrain's Evergreen Extension, Coquitlam is highly accessible and gives an exceptional quality of life for families and commuters alike.
The most pleasant time to visit is Jun–Aug.
