Our chapter started in 2022 with 29 enthusiastic volunteers and 187 hours of work. Our first community cut was on Earth Day and Glen Park was cleared of broom. We’re pleased to be working in partnership with the City of Coquitlam with support from the Hoy/Scott Watershed Society. If you see an area in Coquitlam in need of busting, please reach out to us. We’re interested in working with schools or community groups and encourage those living in neighboring Vancouver Lower Mainland municipalities to start a Broombusters’ chapter. Many hands make light work, so please join us!
