Sick Note Coquitlam 2026: Tri-Cities Workers & SkyTrain Commuters
The Tri-Cities (Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody) are home to over 250,000 people — many commuting to Vancouver, Burnaby, and Surrey via SkyTrain. When you are sick, your Vancouver employer does not care that Coquitlam clinics are packed.
The Commuter Problem
Thousands of Tri-Cities residents commute to:
- Vancouver offices: Documentation required for any absence
- Burnaby tech companies (EA, Ballard): Digital attendance tracking
- Surrey warehouses: Point systems with termination thresholds
- New Westminster hospitals: Collective agreement documentation
Local Tri-Cities Employers
- Eagle Ridge Hospital: Healthcare workers need documentation
- School District 43 (Coquitlam): One of BC's largest — staff need documentation
- City of Coquitlam/Port Coquitlam: Municipal attendance policies
- Retail (Coquitlam Centre, Lougheed): Progressive discipline for undocumented absences
- Construction: Massive residential development means strict site attendance
Walk-In Clinic Reality
The Tri-Cities healthcare system is overwhelmed:
- Walk-in clinics on Lougheed/Austin: 2-4 hour waits
- Eagle Ridge Hospital ER: 4-8 hours
- Family doctor shortage: Severe across all three cities
