I can’t believe that this our third issue already. Time fl ies when you’re having fun!

Everything just keeps getting better and better with each issue. We are now located in 86 businesses throughout the city, we’ve partnered with some amazing community groups, we’re receiving nothing but positive feedback, residents are sending in their photos holding the magazine and we’re getting to know the amazing

business owners in the community.

Thank you again for your support Poco!This issue celebrates Port Coquitlam’s own hometown hero, Terry Fox. I had no idea how popular the Terry Fox Run had become over the years. Many schools have started their own runs for the kids and there are a number of international runs in places like England, Hong Kong, Peru and Croatia, to name a few. It’s amazing to see the impact Terry Fox had on this world.

I hope you enjoy ourSeptember/October issue!
