Dawn Becker for Port Coquitlam City Council 2026

Meet Dawn

Bringing practical, independent, community-first leadership to Port Coquitlam City Council.

I am running for Port Coquitlam City Council to bring practical, independent leadership grounded in community service, financial awareness, and respect for what makes PoCo special. I will listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and support decisions that serve residents, local businesses, and responsible growth.

I care deeply about this community because it is the place I choose to call home, and this is why:

PoCo has the feel of a close-knit community within a larger, growing region.
Residents, seniors, families, volunteers, and local businesses all help shape the strength and character of our city.
That sense of community is worth protecting as we plan for the future.

Dawn’s Letter to the Community

As Board Chair of the Port Coquitlam Community Foundation since 2019, I have supported local non-profits, connected donors with community needs, and helped strengthen PoCo’s volunteer network. That experience gives me practical insight into our city’s needs, opportunities, and potential.

After 28 years in Port Coquitlam, I believe we can plan for growth while protecting the community character residents value.

I was raised watching my parents serve their community. The lessons learned from them are many and valuable. I have been a volunteer for many organizations, leading and giving back and doing what needed to be done. I’m an active volunteer with the Port Coquitlam Community Foundation, Mayor’s Citizen Advisory RoundTable, Coquitlam River Lions Club, 100 Women Who Care, Tri-Cities, Commonwealth War Graves, and a regular blood donor (love cookie & juice day).
