Location of Burquitlam in British Columbia

Burquitlam is a neighbourhood and commercial district of the City of Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada.

The Planning Department of the City of Coquitlam describes the area as being north of the golf course, east of North Road,and to the south of the boundary of the City of Port Moody. Burquitlam Plaza is a shopping plaza by the intersection of Clarke Road (a northeastern continuation of the North Road arterial) and Como Lake Ave.[1]
