This week our City Council approved another daycare expansion in Port Coquitlam, located in PoCo Place Mall. In 2019, the city set a goal of adding a total of 1,449 new child care by 2030. Since then, the city has added about 970 childcare spots, including 133 so far this year.

It was a pleasure to sit down with Cathy Cena and Tri Cities Community TV to chat all things PoCo and the upcoming local election! Watch the full interview here.

Four years after campaigning to bring a new generation of leadership to City Hall, Petriw says experience has only strengthened her belief in the value of different voices around the Council table.
