You get to see many streets of #OurSurrey when you are delivering Christmas hampers. You also get to see some very thankful faces smiling back when they receive one. It makes the work of all the volunteers very worthwhile. @StorehouseSociety @JenTemple

Solid State is a program supporting social profitability not just financial. @solidstatecoop supports cross-culture, inter-generational connections. Spring 2026 applications close on January 7. It was an interesting 2025 Year end celebration in Whalley

A reminder that there is free ice skating at City Hall in the Plaza. Get out there & let your kids teach you to skate or vice versa, or show your NHL moves, or figure skating finesse. Enjoy one of the fun activities #OurSurrey can provide for you!
