Westwood Plateau

Westwood Plateau sits on 1400 acres of land on Eagle Mountain. The previous crown land was purchased by Wesbuild Corporation in 1989 to develop into a real estate community. Today it has some 4,525 homes and houses approximately 15,000 residents. Almost half of the 1400 acres has been retained for green space. There are many ravines running through, as well as parks and hiking trails throughout.

Westwood Plateau residents can do more than just live there. Wesbild has provided two outstanding amenities in the form of golf facilities. The Westwood Plateau Golf & Country Club is a world-class facility with 18 holes of challenging play and magnificent views of the valley and surrounding mountains. The Westwood Plateau Golf Academy provides 9 holes of executive play, plus 3 practice holes and a 66 stall driving range with two levels. Stunning clubhouse architecture completes the golf experience. All the golf facilities are fully open to the public.

There are also 4 elementary schools and one middle school located throughout the plateau. A busy strip mall called the “Westwood Plateau Village” has many shops, restaurants and coffee bars so you don’t have to go too far for your everyday needs.

Lafarge Lake Coquitlam, British Columbia

Lafarge Lake is a five hectare man-made lake in Town Centre Park in North Coquitlam. It was part of the original rock quarry but was reclaimed by the city of Coquitlam in the 1970’s. It also houses the Evergreen Cultural Centre on the Southwest shore of the lake.

Families in Coquitlam can now enjoy a better fishing experience with the opening of a new fishing pier at Lafarge Lake. Stocked with Rainbow Trout from the Fraser Valley Hatchery, the lake provides more fishing opportunities for new and experienced recreational fishers.

The 10th Annual Family Fishing Day is on Saturday, June 14. In addition to a cake cutting, the opening celebration for the fishing pier will also feature two biologists who will be on hand to talk about the fish stocking of Lafarge Lake.

There is also the 6th annual Envision Financial Light the Lake, which will be the biggest Christmas party in the Tri-Cities! The fun-filled family event features a Christmas market with hand-made crafts and holiday gifts, activities for the kids and those young at heart, hot chocolate and other yummy treats, as well as strolling carolers, entertainment and choirs.

Lafarge Lake Park will be transformed as Light the Lake will once again include appearances by celebrity emcee Steve Darling and of course Santa and his elves.
