The City of Port Coquitlam initiated a comprehensive redevelopment of Veterans Park, Leigh Square, and the surrounding public spaces adjacent to City Hall. The objective was to transform a collection of fragmented civic areas—bounded by Shaughnessy Street, Donald Street, and Leigh Square Place—into a cohesive, accessible, and vibrant civic centre that better serves the community.
The project focused on unifying these public spaces to enhance connectivity, support a broader range of civic activities, and create a more welcoming environment for everyday use and special events. Integrated lighting played a key role in this transformation—improving safety, extending the usability of the space into the evening hours, and contributing to the overall atmosphere through creative and programmable lighting features.
