Surrey Is On The Warpath
Surrey’s call for a public inquiry into Metro Vancouver now has significant regional support. New Westminster, the District of North Vancouver and the City of North Vancouver have each unanimously supported Surrey’s position. Together, our four municipalities represent approximately one million residents, or roughly one-third of the region. That growing call for transparency and accountability cannot be ignored.
For Surrey, the need for a public inquiry is about far more than the cost overruns of the North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant. Surrey’s complaint identifies fundamental concerns about how Metro Vancouver is governed, how decisions are made and how public funds and assets are managed. It also raises serious questions about whether critical financial, engineering, environmental and other information has been withheld from duly appointed directors, whether the interests of member municipalities are being respected, and whether Metro Vancouver has complied with its legal and regulatory obligations.
Surrey has formally raised these concerns with the Province and continues to engage with the Inspector of Municipalities. We remain committed to pursuing this matter in a transparent and responsible way, with the goal of strengthening accountability and public confidence in how Metro Vancouver is governed.
This year marks the "Diamond Anniversary / 75" of the White Rock Sea Festival.
Bigger and better than ever.
The annual torchlight parade, the waiters race along Marine Drive, giant fireworks display and this year the addition of a Custom Car Show all along the waterfront West of Oxford Street.

Since 2018, this annual tradition has celebrated diversity, inclusion, and the message that everyone belongs. It's a reminder that our community is strongest when everyone feels welcome, respected, and free to be themselves.
One of the highlights was the beautiful poem shared by Denise Darrell, along with the personal stories shared by the speakers. Their words were heartfelt and meaningful.
Thank you to the White Rock Pride Society, Board of Directors and everyone who came out to support this special event

This TNT is yet another example of the lunacy that seems to infect White Rock, something I originally blamed on the well water in my second TNT for the White Rock Sun some 19 years ago. I'm actually surprised I don't have a sore neck from shaking my head about some of the bizarre and unbelievable stories that cross my path from the Rock. Once again, the unofficial motto of the White Rock Sun, "You Can't Make This stuff up", immediately springs to mind. Read on and try to not be impressed by the level of stupidity shown by those running the White Rock Farmers Market that would likely have former Market Manager and White Rock Councillor Helen Fathers looking down from heaven in dismay.
Come out to support us as we petition the Ministry of Health to partner with the City of Langley to conduct a 1 year pilot project "Cannabis Substitution for Opioids".
Mayor and Council unanimously approved the pilot project in April 2025. It is time for action so lives can be saved.
