The Coquitlam Heritage Society has reached out to Hoy/Scott Watershed Society to collaborate on their upcoming “Beyond Fishing Exhibit” to be held from Nov. 15, 2021 to April 24, 2022 at Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame at Poirier Sport & Leisure Complex in Coquitlam.
Shanna Cheng visited the Hoy Creek Hatchery to review materials with the Society that would work in the display.
“We’re pleased that the Heritage Society reached out,” said Society president, Robbin Whachell. “This is another great way to bring awareness to the work of the Society and a reminder that our urban streams are teaming with life, and require protection.”
The Coquitlam Heritage Society operates Mackin House Museum in lovely Maillardville, Coquitlam that aims to recreate a home in the Edwardian era. They offer a range of services to the general public, including events, workshops, tourism information, and exhibits across the community.
