The world cup itself may not make its way to PoCo, but take a look at what the Coquitlam Football Club (aka the 'Ranchers') brought home in 1914.

These Champions of BC won the Packenham Cup, the McBride Shield, the Mainland Challenge Cup, among other awards. The trophies were displayed for the town to see in the windows of the Hardware Store downtown. Keep an eye out for some more archival soccer photos this week!

Join us tomorrow 6:30pm at the PoCo Heritage Museum and Archives for a talk from Carol Todd on the legacy and story of Amanda Todd.

Amanda's tragic passing in 2012 and the circumstances surrounding it have impacted many across Canada: it brought to light the importance of mental health, fighting bullying and exploitation, and supporting individuals who are suffering. Join us to hear more about Amanda's story and the important work Carol is undertaking through the Amanda Todd Legacy Society.

PoCo, we have questions! This photo came to our archives from the Tri-City News, but we don’t know what year it was taken, or what chicken-related cause this PoCo resident was championing. Does anyone remember? The house in question was on the corner of Mary Hill Road and Kelly Avenue, but we’d love to know more about their love for chickens.

Let us know in the comments!

And for another great student musical photo, these PoCo high schoolers (with great hats) performed songs from the popular 1971 musical “Godspell,” in their theatre class in 1979.
