Picture this: giant trees towering overhead like nature’s skyscrapers, sparkling water stretching as far as the eye can see, and a historic 1913 water tower standing proudly. That’s the Coquitlam Watershed—a place brimming with wonder, history, and just the right amount of adventure!
On a sunny day in early August 2024, a group of eager newcomer explorers laced up their shoes (and probably their courage) to uncover the magic of this natural gem. They strolled along scenic trails, marveled at breathtaking views, and learned how the watershed ensures clean water flows to the community. A favorite moment? Forest bathing. No swimsuits required—just a chance to pause, breathe deeply, and realize that trees make better listeners than most humans.
The day was packed with excitement, connection, and perhaps a little cardio. New friendships blossomed, and everyone walked away feeling a bit more like environmental superheroes. A huge thanks to Metro Vancouver for making this unforgettable day happen. The watershed didn’t just impress—it inspired! Here’s to more adventures in the future!
