The workers at Coquitlam city hall were treated to a surprising sight – a bright pink unicorn with a rainbow mane, waddling up the front steps to wave at the staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The unicorn has been lifting spirits around the Tri-Cities and was recently sighted in a Coquitlam intersection alongside a woman in a T-Rex costume.
The video of the encounter went viral, prompting the mysterious unicorn to reveal herself. According to Janet Thompson, she was watching an American news station and there was a woman who had a unicorn costume and she walked into a grocery store and made everybody happy. She decided to find a similar costume online and do the same, but with some modifications. The unicorn carries a sign “Stay Safe” and fashioned a cloth mask.
Aside from spreading smiles, Thompson has also delivered baked goods for the staff at Royal Columbian Hospital.
