Museum of Surrey open submissions for Community Treasures exhibitions series
Museum of Surrey (MOS) is opening applications for the Community Treasures exhibition series, for 2027. Community Treasures is a gallery space for community members, individuals, and cultural organizations from Surrey to showcase their treasures and share their stories with the public.
These temporary, submission-based exhibits give visitors an inside look into Surrey’s unique stories and experiences – straight from you, the community. Visitors get to view items that would normally be unavailable to see elsewhere.
Editors Note: Do you realize Surrey once had its very own singing cowboys ALBERTA SLIM?
"Slim" took the backseat out of his big old Cadillac car so he could squeeze his trick horse kitten into where the backseat used to be.
Final selections are chosen by the Museum’s Community Advisory Board. Members review in September and exhibits are scheduled for the following year.
All Surrey residents are invited to read the Community Treasures guidebook to learn more about application guidelines and send their submissions online
.......or contacting the Exhibits Team on thewebsite.

Movin' On Up
I want to express my deepest gratitude to the Whalers organization as I take the next step in my journey with the Surrey Eagles Junior A hockey club in the BCHL.
It has been an incredible experience to be part of the Whalers and to help foster the growth of junior hockey in our community. I’m excited about the new challenge ahead, but I will always cherish my time here and the support from Ownership and the entire Whalers organization.
Thank you for everything you’ve done to shape hockey in South Surrey. The future of junior hockey here is bright, and I look forward to watching it continue to thrive.
David Rutherford - Former Whalers Head Coach
Fun Dull Fact!
I live near the longest wooden pier in Canada.
The White Rock pier in British Columbia.
It stretches 470 metres (1540 feet for our American friends) it was rebuilt after a major storm wiped it out in 2018.
No Dogs allowed, but it didnt say anything about cats

Motorcycle incident during RCMP training in Surrey
Yesterday (Saturday April 4, 2026), at approximately 10:10 a.m., officers from various RCMP units were participating in a Motorcycle Escort re‑certification course in Surrey.
While travelling southbound on 152 Street near 100th avenue @ Guildford on fully marked RCMP police motorcycles, a BC Highway Patrol officer was rear‑ended by another BC Highway Patrol officer. Officers immediately rendered first aid and requested BC Emergency Health Services assistance. One officer was transported to hospital with serious injuries and remains in hospital. The other officer was taken to hospital as well, then was released and returned to the training course.

Did You Get Caught In Any APRIL FOOLS tricks yesterday?
Long time White Rock resident Mike HERRICK mused what The Boathouse might look like if the local motorcycle enthusiast club returned to White Rock?
A number of readers dropped us a line enraged that PRESIDENT TRUMP would have the nerve to rename our Peace Arch.
Local part time unpaid historian TOM SAUNDERS took to social media with a post the city of White Rock was replacing our iconic white rock with "The Cube." SAUNDERS felt by imposing my head on someone's body for the ribbon cutting ceremony it would add a level of authenticity.
..and our friends over @ Blue frog had patrons scratching their heads over the proposed name change to YELLOW TOAD?
The White Rock Pier will be lit for the following community initiatives in April
Sadly, this is yet another installment on the ongoing saga of the "vegetation control", "tree trimming" and de-facto clear cutting of the Hump hillside between West Beach and East Beach in White Rock. I have learned that once again the City of White Rock has contracted URBAN GROVE to remove trees from the Hump hillside that have grown enough to once again block views from Marine Drive condos. Many of these are sucker growth that resulted from the clear-cutting that took place back in 2015 where most of the established forest growing on the Hump was removed. This left an ugly scar along the waterfront visible from the length of the Promenade and the Pier that resulted in a loss of wildlife habitat, a reduction in raptor use and the drought death of the top 10 metres of the famed "Eagle Tree."
Editors Note - The City has never done any replanting on The Hump
If you watch STEVEN COLBERT at night you will know he often breaks into song, a frustrated singer?
Well check out a duet he actually performs with JAMES TAYLOR.
