Message from Acting Mayor Doug Richardson

Message from Acting Mayor Doug Richardson:

“The Village has activated its Emergency Operations Centre to help support the emergency response, and our staff are working to provide support to the community as needed.

I greatly appreciate the Sasamat Volunteer Fire Department, Port Moody Fire Department, Metro Vancouver fire and emergency response staff, including the helicopters, and Coquitlam Search and Rescue who quickly showed up to help with the response. I also thank our Village staff, who quickly and efficiently implemented the EOC and issued the Evacuation Alert.

We’re a small team, but we will be doing our best to keep our residents updated and we encourage you to share official posts from the Village and Metro Vancouver as the best source of accurate information.”
