MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR
  
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !
BE SAFE - CALL DESIGNATED DRIVERS
As we celebrate this season, sometimes we might imbibe just a wee bit more than our limit.
But wait! You don’t want to leave your car in that parkade or on the street overnight.
Call Designated Drivers at 604-917-0177.
They will pick you up and drive your car back home.
Thank you Elaine Allison for introducing this service – it came in handy during a business lunch that went overtime.
LOBBYING FOR LOUGHEED LANDMARK
The City Planner has requested that we lobby for support from the community to keep the 84-child daycare facility and office spaces designed for Lougheed Landmark.
According to a Child Impact Assessment, the 500-block of Lougheed only allows up to a maximum of 24 children – we disagree because every daycare facility that we know of is over-capacity.
If you live in the Coquitlam/Burquitlam area and seeking daycare (now or in the future) please write a letter supporting your need for this 10,000 sf facility.
Also, there are old office spaces that are being torn down to build condos, so we designed our building to include office spaces for these displaced businesses.
If you would like to maintain a business presence in this area of town, please write a support letter to the City Planner at 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam, BC V3B 7N2.
Spread the word: the City of Coquitlam wants your input.
With so many high-density condo towers being built in this area, the need for daycare and office space will only increase.
We designed these amenities including 3 park areas, playground, and dog run, to support the community.
Please provide a copy of your letter so we can track the number of supporters - send either by email to july@ocmi.ca or by mail to #210-15272 Croydon Drive, Surrey, BC V3Z 0Z5.
If submitting your letter to the City of Coquitlam by email, send to DMaloney@coquitlam.ca, name your document "Daycare Support 576 Lougheed" or "Office Support 576 Lougheed."
The deadline for submissions is the end of March 2026.
Thank you for your support !
