If you choose to drink alcohol in the permitted spaces, respect your fellow park users by managing your consumption, behaving responsibly, and disposing of waste or recycling in the appropriate manner. Whenever possible, pack it in and pack it out – take your waste or recycling home with you to keep our public places clean and safe for everyone.

Decorating in parks and natural areas

Our parks, trails, and natural areas create beautiful backdrops for outdoor celebrations. We welcome you to enjoy seasonal holidays, birthdays, and special events in Port Moody's outdoor spaces year-round but please be mindful when using decorations. As some décor materials can cause harm to wildlife and the environment, hanging decorations in parks and on trails, and on other City lands, is not permitted.

During the winter holiday season (generally November through early February), the City invites residents to hang wildlife-friendly decorations for a limited time in a special area known as a designated decorating space (typically within Pioneer Memorial Park, 275 Knowle Street).

See our Decorating in Parks and Natural Areas Policy and the Parks and Community Facilities Rules and Regulations Bylaw (No. 3321) for more information.

Wildlife-friendly decorations

Whether you’re decorating in a designated decorating space on City land or on your own property, it’s important to ensure any materials used are wildlife friendly.

Here are some ideas and tips for using suitable materials:

• use natural or biodegradable materials like wood, twine, cork, fabric, stones, seashells, or paper
• use scrap fabric to create unique and fun ornaments
• create biodegradable garland from untreated wooden beads or dried flowers and leaves
• make a simple dough out of flour, water, and salt – cut out fun shapes and bake
• use twigs and paint to create unique shapes and designs
• decorate potted conifers, cut trees, or ornamental planters rather than trees in the forest
• recycle and upcycle – reimagine existing items to reduce waste

Avoid unsuitable materials such as:

• glass (e.g. glass bulbs and ornaments)
• plastic (e.g. glitter, tinsel, garland, and ornaments)
• balloons (e.g. latex, plastic, helium)
• Styrofoam
• edible items (e.g. seeds, nuts, dog treats, and candy)
• invasive plant species (e.g. English holly and English ivy)
• mesh/netting, ribbon, and fake snow
• strings of lights (if stringing lights, hang single strings only, 10 feet above the ground to avoid entangling wildlife)

Share the trail

Please be respectful, courteous, and kind on our trails. If we practice trail etiquette, everyone can enjoy our natural environment safely. Here are a few tips:

• Be aware of others – Travel at a safe speed and anticipate others around corners and blind spots. Let others know you are coming by giving a friendly greeting or ringing a bell.
• Pass safely – On shared trails, mountain bikers and cyclists yield to hikers and pedestrians. When passing on the left, slow down or come to a complete stop, allowing enough time and space for others to re-orient themselves on the trail. 
• Check posted signs - Check signs at trailheads to see if the route is shared or for pedestrians only. For example, bicycles and scooters (human-powered or electric) are not permitted on the Shoreline Trail’s lower gravel and boardwalk path.
• Stay on the trail – Practice "leave no trace" principles. Keep to designated trails to protect the surrounding ecosystem. Don’t take shortcuts and don’t detour around any technical features.
• Follow dog regulations – Keep Fido leashed unless you're in a designated off-leash area. 
• Be prepared for wildlife – Be ready for potential encounters with wildlife, including bears. As you move through the trails, give animals warning and enough room to adjust to your presence by talking or making noise. Find out more about how to manage wildlife encounters.
