March 22, 2020 - Effective immediately, the City of Port Moody is closing all public recreational facilities in parks including basketball courts, tennis courts, skate parks, bike parks, and sports fields.

• wash your hands often, for at least 20 seconds, with soap and water
• avoid touching your face
• cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing
• avoid others who are unwell
• stay home when you’re sick.
