Research Committee
One of the goals of the Coquitlam Civic League is to hold local government more accountable to the wishes of its citizens. The research committee is committed to identifying the wishes, values, and visions of citizens through a variety of means including surveys, dialogue, conferences, and polling. We are also interested in developing methods to measure how well local government is honouring the wishes of citizens.

Civic Government 101
Our local government has a significant impact on the quality of our day-to-day life, yet many people do not understand the role of local government. 'Civic Government 101' is an opportunity to learn more about civic government, what they do, what kinds of decisions they make, and how decisions are made. The more you understand the role of local government, the more you can contribute to the decisions that affect your local community. If you would like to help design this seminar please contact us at ted@coquitlamcivicleague.ca.
