What a wonderful place this is! I was wondering if there are any exercise classes offered among all of your wonderful programs being run?
I am a caregiver for seniors in our community, and am looking for a place to point our clients to, for some activities, socialization and exercise :). Please let me know !

Hello Shelby. There are 2 components to Dogwood Pavilion. The Centre is a community centre open to anyone 19+ and offers city run programs including fitness and wellness programs which are available for registration online at: https://www.coquitlam.ca/294/Recreation-Registration. Registration can also be done by phone or in person at the receptions desk. The second component is the Seniors Society operating in collaboration with Dogwood Pavilion by providing volunteer led activities which cover a wide range of interests from woodworking, lapidary, card games, drama groups, choir etc. There are also other activities such as Slo-pitch, hiking, cycling, and Pickleball for the more active seniors but these are not limited to the Dogwood pavilion. Feel free to stop in and pick up an Activity brochure (Society groups) but also a City Program which lists all of the active fitness programs. Thank you for your question.
We also have a Tea garden for light snacks and beverages as well as the Boulevard Cafe which offers a selection of hot and cold meals at an affordable price. We have a library on site and offer weekly movies at low cost. There are

do you have a driving service?

Hello Irene
We do not have a driving service. I am interpreting this to mean someone who comes to pick you up and transport you home. I would suggest you contact Uber, Lyft which are driving services, Handidart may be a good place to look because they offer bus services and if accepted by Handidard you do receive a faresaver card for taxi service.
