About Coquitlam
The City of Coquitlam motto is - ANIMUS FLUMINUS VIRES POPULI
The Spirit of the Rivers (is) the Strength of the People
On October 30 1990, the coat of arms with the above inscription was
received officially at a ceremony held in the Council Chambers of
Coquitlam's old Municipal Hall.
Coquitlam's earliest residents were the Coast Salish First Nations people.
The City began to grow into the community it is today with the opening of
Fraser Mills, when settlers from Quebec brought their mill experience and
their French heritage. Since then, Coquitlam has continued to expand into
the multicultural, family-oriented community it is today. Coquitlam is fast
Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada
2016 FIL Men’s Under-19 World Championships
Page 11 of 28
becoming the Lower Mainland's number one location for lifestyle and
business.
Coquitlam’s open and accessible government is dedicated to providing
services that enable all members of our community – businesses and
residents – to prosper and grow within a safe and clean environment. We
have invested up-front in modern infrastructure that continues to pave the
way for double-digit residential, commercial/retail and industrial growth.
Building on Coquitlam's strengths, the City developed an Economic Action
Plan to enhance long-term fundamentals of the local economy and to better
position Coquitlam as part of the regional economy.
The Plan also focuses on supporting healthy communities and
neighborhoods through job opportunities for a growing population, and
sustained development of a vibrant local economy and tax base.
Coquitlam is home to the Coquitlam Adanacs Senior A & Junior A Lacrosse
clubs as well as Coquitlam Minor Lacrosse and numerous other Junior &
Senior club teams. Also home to the Coquitlam Express Junior A Hockey
Club and the Coquitlam Reds Premier League Baseball Team

Profit Society” established for the 2008 games. A tournament committee
will be formed and will provide an opportunity for representation from the
F.I.L., Canadian Lacrosse Association, the British Columbia Lacrosse
Association, the City of Coquitlam and various other members from the
community experienced in hosting National and Provincial lacrosse
tournaments.

The Town Centre Sports Complex is located with-in minutes of all
emergency services.
Eagle Ridge Hospital is a modern, state of the art facility, which is located
only 5 minutes from the Town Centre Complex.
Royal Columbian Hospital is a major trauma facility located in the

Page 15 of 28
Coquitlam #1 Fire Hall is located adjacent to the Town Centre Park
Complex. It is manned full time with emergency fire and paramedic staff.
First-Aid Sports Med BC is a society whose focus is on identifying,
developing and promoting Best Practices in Sport Health, Sport Safety and
Sport Training. They will be a valuable resource in
the supply of skilled athletic trainers for teams
requiring them as well as providing immediate
injury assessment and treatment as well as general
first-aid duties.
Police The main Coquitlam detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police is located just opposite the south-west corner of the park. Prior to the

comprehensive security and emergency access
plan for the park.

8 - Transportation
The transportation plan developed for the 2008 event proved to be very
efficient and will likely be implemented again in a similar manner. Some
teams may choose to provide their own transportation, but for those
choosing to use tournament buses, they will be scheduled in such a manner
to have the teams arriving at the fields with sufficient time for preparation
and warm-ups. A dedicated shuttle will be provided for the officiating crew.
The Tri-city area is serviced by an excellent public transportation system.
Buses and connecting advanced light rapid transit (Skytrain) make travel in
the greater Vancouver easy, economical and efficient. Prior to the event, the
Coquitlam area will be enjoying the new Evergreen extension to the Skytrain
LRT network. This will provide easy access to the airport or downtown
Vancouver and all of its amenities.

9 - Accommodation
The director of accommodations will negotiate a preferred rate for the local
hotels in the Coquitlam area for teams and or supporters that wish to take
advantage of them. We will also be looking to secure college dorm style
accommodation at Simon Fraser University for those teams preferring that
style of residence. Whichever type of accommodation is preferred; the
providers in the area have expertise in dealing with large groups and sports
teams. Scheduled bus transportation for teams will be set-up for travel to and
from the tournament venue from tournament accommodations.
10 - Food Services
The cultural diversity of the area provides for dining experiences of virtually
any ethnic background.
Meal service for the athletes will be available as part of the accommodation
package.
Food services at the tournament venue will offer a varied menu and will be
available during tournament hours. All teams will be provided with postgame beverages and healthy snacks.
11 - Ancillary Events
Opening ceremonies will include a parade of athletes, assembly and opening
comments by various dignitaries and official guests. Plans will be to include
local First Nation involvement representative of the game’s heritage.
Closing ceremonies will be held on field after the final game with
representation of all teams with their flags. Comments from local and
provincial dignitaries as well as from the FIL and tournament committee will
be part of the program.

Page 18 of 28
Tournament awards including All-stars and Spirit of Lacrosse awards will
also be handed out at as part of the closing ceremonies.
Along with the main event, our plan is to host a
Youth Field Lacrosse Invitational Tournament.
Players in this event will have full access to the
main event which will give the younger players both
a demonstration of play at the highest skill level and
also provide inspiration as to what they too could
achieve in representing their country.
12 - Media and Communication
With the 2008 event a very comprehensive website was set up, providing
both teams and fans with up to date information on the event as well as real
time statistics during game play. This quality website will be carried on and
updated for this event.
Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada
2016 FIL Men’s Under-19 World Championships
Page 19 of 28
For the 2008 games, the directors secured sponsorship from a major market
sports radio station as well as one of the two major newspapers for coverage
of the event. This along with other local media interest during the games
provided great exposure for the event. We will pursue this type of
collaboration again.
Also, on staff will be a dedicated media relations person as we had in 2008.
This person coordinated media accessibility as well as provided the many
press releases through the course of the games.

13 - Sports Facilities
The Coquitlam Town Centre Sports Complex is located in the heart of
development in the City of Coquitlam. It is home to four quality artificial
turf fields, one being the main stadium field and two natural grass fields. All
four turf fields are equipped state of the art lighting to support play into the
evening hours if required.
Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada
2016 FIL Men’s Under-19 World Championships
Page 21 of 28
The stadium is enclosed by secure fencing and provides covered seating for
about 1200 fans. Additional bleacher type seating can easily be moved to the
ends of the field to provide addition seating if demands require it. Both
adjacent turf fields have covered seating for about 200 people at each field
along with covered players benches.
The facility offers full size adult team change rooms as well as a secure
official’s change area. In 2008 we added additional large tents equipped with
tables and chairs to provide us with additional dressing rooms. This will
likely be repeated as necessary.
Fully equipped concession area will be open to serve the needs of fans and
players alike.
The south end of the field features a full size electronic scoreboard. All turf
fields have full field lighting.
Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada
2016 FIL Men’s Under-19 World Championships
Page 22 of 28
The south end of the complex has a very large open area, which is
envisioned, as a tent city of venders and displays.
All four turf fields are equipment with artificial lighting that would allow
games into the evening if required.
Meeting facilities for the various games committees during the course of the
games are available at the Evergreen Cultural Centre a short 5 minute walk
from the stadium. These facilities would also be available for any FIL
business meetings if planned for.
Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada

In addition to the outstanding sport facilities available, Coquitlam Town
Centre also has trails through quiet forested areas and lakes providing
anyone with space for a time out. It is also located minutes from major
shopping malls.
Once onsite we see Town Centre offering everyone everything they need to
spend a day at “the Games”

15 - Legacy
The legacy left from this event will be two fold.
First of all, our plans are for a lacrosse festival that will have participants,
volunteers and spectator’s alike going away with memories of good friends
and good competition.
Secondly, funding raised by this event will go to the 2008 World Lacrosse
Foundation which was started after the 2008 games. Its sole purpose is to
provide support for the development of our sport in all areas of British
Columbia so that these great opportunities are available to all players,
coaches and officials with the desire to excel.

Re: FIL Under 19 Men’s Field World Lacrosse Championships
To Whom It May Concern:
On behalf of the Canadian Lacrosse Association I am pleased to provide our full support and
endorsement for the bid proposal as prepared under the Chair, Mr. Cliff Pascas, to host the 2016 U19
Men’s Field Lacrosse World Championship in Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada.
The CLA is fortunate to have a very strong provincial lacrosse association in BC and we benefit from a
highly skilled and dedicated lacrosse community in BC who is more than able to host a successful world
championship event, as was demonstrated with the 2008 U19 World Championship.
We certainly look forward to possibly welcoming the global lacrosse community to Canada in 2016 and
we appreciate the FIL considering this proposal.
Yours in lacrosse,
Stewart Begg
VP International Competition

10. SHORT AND LONG TERM DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
a) What benefits do you envisage your country will derive from hosting a World Championship?
Lacrosse, and in particular the Field Lacrosse discipline is growing in popularity year after year. We see this event as another tool to
demonstrate this great game. With exposure through local print and electronic media we will hope to generate an interest in the game
from people who would not have previously known of it. Providing references to the Canadian Lacrosse Association and the British
Columbia Lacrosse Association as sources of information regarding participation we think will help to generate interest and growth from
outside of the mainstream Lacrosse community.

b) How will hosting this World Championship support the FIL Development Committee in furthering its aims of introducing lacrosse in
new countries whilst continuing to strengthen it in existing locations?
Our group staged this event in 2008, and by all reports it was a great success both in showcasing the game and financially. On the latter
note, we were able to provide the FIL will a substantial revenue share. We envision the same thing again for this event. Some or all of
these funds to the FIL could be used to finance development strategies in developing areas.
Further, the staging of a successful championship event such as this and reports of it spreading through various media and social media
outlets will help to spark interest in developing areas. In today’s age, spreading information to a worldwide audience is as simple as a
keystroke on a computer and we foresee interest and a following of this event coming from a worldwide audience. ......................................

12. CONDITIONS
All Bids must comply with the Championship Rules as prepared by the FIL Men’s Competitions Committee and which are associated with
the FIL Bylaws, noting that these are subject to change. Any difficulties of specific compliance should be raised as early as possible to
allow this to be considered by the FIL.
It is the intent that for any World Championship, countries participating are generally known and confirmed two years ahead of the
scheduled date of the event. Full confirmation of participating countries will not be known until the Entry Fee has been paid in full to the
FIL by the due date (31st December of the year preceding the event).
Changes outside of the direct control of the FIL may occur in this period (a country may withdraw from the event or there could be
additional entrants within the overall maximum number) and this would be a matter of discussion between the Organising Committee and
the FIL.
The game schedule within a specific World Championship is the prerogative of the FIL to set and would be discussed with the Organiser
to take into consideration any specific points.
When completed this bid should be forwarded to :
