The Coquitlam City Council is the governing body for the City of Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada.
[needs update] The councillors are councilors-at-large elected for the entire city.
Municipal elections were held every three years across the Province on the third Saturday of November.
However, the BC Government changed the Municipal Elections Act and moved the date to the third Saturday of October.
Reimer initially speculated in the press about continuing to perform both roles, or simply taking an unpaid leave of absence from her city council duties until the 2014 municipal election, to spare taxpayers the expense of a by-election;[2] the council ultimately decided on July 8, 2013 to hold by-elections to replace them.
