The Coast Salish have lived on these lands for thousands of years, and the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm today play an important role within the community. In 2016, Coquitlam celebrated its 125th birthday, which included a year of festivities and community events. Woven through the projects was the theme: ‘Stories told, Stories to be Created.’ Among the legacy projects included an initiative that invited the public to share their Coquitlam stories through words, images and art.
