Leisure Buddy The City of Port Coquitlam makes every effort to make our programs accessible and inclusive to the entire community. To ensure the safety and enjoyment of all participants and staff, we ask all parents to read the following information.

! Let’s PLAY

Children require additional support for a variety of reasons. Program Camp leaders are responsible for the safety of the entire camp group and strive to provide positive experiences for all children; they do not have extended periods of time available to focus on the specific needs of one child. Also important is that our leaders do not have the ability to know your child’s habits and routines, so what may be routine for some parents could be challenging for our instructors.

Parents registering children who require additional support in any of our programs are required to complete the Leisure Buddy request form available at any customer service desk or www.portcoquitlam.ca/access. Completed forms can be returned to any of our customer service desks or e-mailed to Cierra Popovec at Popovec@portcoquitlam.ca
