History
[edit]The PoCo Trail was conceived as a project in 1967 for the city of Port Coquitlam, as a mean for celebrating the 100th birthday of Canada. Developments began in the early 1970s by a group called the "PoCo Trail Blazers". In 1997, the city began to improve the PoCo Trail in order to make it a central part of the community. Later developments were made in the years that followed, resulting in the 25.3 kilometer trail that now exists.[2]
Between 2015-2019, the trail was included in the city budget for upgrades.[3]
Wildlife
[edit]The trail features many bird species along with creeks, forestation, meadows and marshes.[4] Bears have been seen in the area during the salmon run.[5]
