The city of Port Coquitlam is putting out an invite to all Port Coquitlam students in Grades 1, 2, 4 and 5. Represent your City as a May Day Royal Party member!

All positions are selected by a random draw for each school.

The Royal Party is a historical tradition in Port Coquitlam. Royal Party members include Flower Girls and Junior Lancers from Grades 1 and 2, and Princesses and Lancers from Grades 4 and 5. Members of the Royal Party will be randomly selected from interested applicants. Being a Royal Party member provides opportunities for children to develop community leadership skills as the Royal Party presides over the May Days festivities. A May Queen, Ambassador, First Princess, and Record Bearer are selected from the group of Princesses and Lancers.

The Royal Party will learn a couple of simple dances led by a professional dance choreographer. No previous dance experience is necessary. These dances will be performed at the May Days Opening Ceremonies on Sunday, May 5th, 2024. Participants will be required to attend all dance practices at the Port Coquitlam Community Centre twice per week on Wednesdays and Fridays after school, from February until the Opening Ceremony in May.

Please see this LINK for the Royal Party application form. The deadline to apply is January 22nd.

Proficiency in the English language is required and volunteers should expect to complete 8-12 volunteer hours. All hours can be completed at home. More details can be provided to those interested. Please email Mrs. LeRoss at if you’d like to help out.
