Protect the Riverview Lands
Sign Now
We, the undersigned, are opposed to the Provincial Governments plan to massively develop the Riverview lands in Coquitlam, BC. The Riverview lands are home to an important mental health facility and a nationally-important collection of specimen trees, many almost a century old. The Riverview lands are also one of the most significant green spaces in the Tri-Cities.
We urge the Provincial Government to adopt the 2005 Riverview Task Force Report which was coordinated by the City of Coquitlam and received input from numerous community organizations. This report recommends the lands be kept in public ownership with services for mental health and wellness; protection of the botanical heritage and ecology of the lands; establishment of centres of research, education and innovation; and opportunities for heritage, arts and culture.
The future of the Riverview lands should be decided by the residents of Coquitlam and the Tri-Cities.

It is not only of great historical value it belongs to the people, not individuals.

Riverview must remain dedicated to the mentally ill. It was dedicated to them at it's inception and remains a much-needed, valuable resource. A small hospital should be built and new cottage style accommodation with campus-type facilities

So many people have mental health conditions now that it is not only the downtrodden who require help. We come from all walks of life and sometimes require assistance from a reliable facility like Riverview. PLEASE!

There is altogether too much wholesale destruction of our heritage. While we are told that our microscopic environmental efforts in turning out lights and the like are an essential to the future of our planet, our elected officials put prof

I have lived in the Tri-cities area for seventeen years and believe the Riverview lands should be preserve as a hospital for people in need of help because of mental illness. Also its lands should be preserved as a green space and parkland

I had no idea that moving from the beauty and calm of Burnaby Mtn to Coquitlam would be such a dramatic change. I had heard the rumours for years that the Riverview Site was in danger of redevelopement but just assumed 'just a rumour'. Coq

It is very important to save this valuable heritage site and its trees. We must have some values beyond making money. Save a precious, irreplaceable part of nature.
