Biography

The future lives here. The City of Surrey, incorporated in 1879, is British Columbia's third largest city and home to 495,000+ residents. Surrey has six Town Centres including Fleetwood, City Centre, Guildford, Newton, Cloverdale, and South Surrey.

The City is committed to improving access to our facilities, public spaces and projects. With the support of grants and funding from various sources, we are proudly improving access in our facilities, parks, and playgrounds.

We are focused on making updates that are universally accessible including adding automated washroom doors, multi-sensory programming, interpretation, telecoil systems, high-contrast signage and more.

We are working to ensure that strategic plans and initiatives include the voices and perspectives of members of the disability community with the aim of Surrey including persons of all abilities in City life.
