7. Queen of All Saints
Primary School
Address: Como Lake Ave, Coquitlam
Sector: Private
Queen of All Saints is a Catholic school in Coquitlam. Aside from the fact
that is considered a private school, it belongs in the private sector because it
requires a cost with which the school makes profit (Maclean, as cited in
Lunn, E. Adventure #4), and it is run based on the demand of Catholics in
Coquitlam who want a private education for their children.
Connection: Education
Queen of All Saints is a primary school that runs Grades 7 to 12. Like any
school, it provides its student with courses that cover the primary subjects
needed for a post secondary education, as well as opportunities for

It is open to the public but those who want to use the gym will need to
purchase memberships or day passes that allow the gym to gain profit.

Aside from providing the public with an opportunity to climb, Climb Base 5
also offers camps in which you can learn the basics of how to climb. These
camps are run by coaches who have had years of experience in the field of

plan module of the NCCP (N. Head, personal communication).

goods for a cost. The mall uses advertising for its stores to create demand.

of the community (Lunn, E. Adventure #4). Coquitlam Center Mall provides
many different services such as food courts, clothing, tech, and
entertainment stores. It is located in a fairly central area for the majority of
those living in Coquitlam and is close to other recreational activities such as
library’s, swimming pools, schools, and grocery stores.

10. Volunteer/Non-Profit Service
Sector

11. Boy Scouts Canada Address: Blue Mountain Park, Coquitlam
Sector: Volunteer
Scouts Canada can be considered a community sport organization. Its
service is to provide opportunities for kids of all ages to take part in
organized programs but is also directed towards a special interest group,
that group being kids who want to learn different skills outside of the
normal sport related topics. Those who are the leaders of each communities
group of scouts does not do so for profit, and only generate enough profit
to cover costs (camping trips, equipment etc.).
Connection: Education
Education can be described as any service that facilitates the acquisition of
knowledge and skills (Wikimedia, 2022). Throughout the course of Boy
Scouts, participants will learn skills that are useful, but not taught in schools.
Activities like outdoor cooking, first aid, and camping are taught and help
with personal development, team building, and respect.

12. Value Village Address: Barnet Hwy, Coquitlam
Sector: Non-Profit
Value Village can be considered a non-profit distributing organization
because although they still accept profit, all profit is used to build its own
services and aid business growth. It is good for select populations because it
meets their demands of having goods that are relatively inexpensive.
Connection: Recreation
One of the jobs of each municipality is to ensure that there is a broad range
of recreation opportunities for every group in the community (Lunn, E.
Adventure #4). Thrift stores are important to those who may have a tighter
budget but still enjoy shopping, which can aid in their social well-being and
quality of life. Thrift stores are also a great way to recycle used clothing that
still have some use left.

13. Coquitlam Metro
Ford Soccer Club
Address: Mountain View Park, Coquitlam
Sector: Non-profit
One of the characteristics of the CMFSC is that it is considered a Community
Sport Organization. They put any profit they make into the funding of
community infrastructure (CMFSC, 2022).
Connection: Coaching
CMFSC runs for all kids ages 6 to 18. Throughout each season, kids will learn
many useful skills outside the realm of just soccer, such as team building and
communication, the importance of play, and respect; many of these being
important theories of play (Lunn, E. Adventure #3). But it all comes down to
the coach of the team and how prepared they are to take on this challenge.
In my experience playing soccer, my best friends dad was my coach for 6
years. When he decided to coach our team, he had to go through certain
courses, and a big part of these courses was the NCCP Training Modules
such as the DBSP and PaP classes (D. Stewart, personal communication).
