We Will Never Forget
The new Veteran's crosswalk in front of the Crescent Legion #240 was recently completed. It looks amazing and compliments the new paint job volunteers did on the building for the 75th anniversary of the branch.
Thank you to the City of Surrey Engineering Dept. and the painting crew who got this project completed before Nov. 11th.
It will be put to good use at this year's Remembrance Day ceremony.
If you want to see the new Veteran's crosswalk the Crescent Legion is located at 2643 128 St. across from Crescent Park.
Everyone is welcome, anyone can join and membership is free for 2026 as we celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Surrey Police Service Investigating Shots Fired in South Surrey
Surrey Police Service (SPS) is investigating a shots fired incident in South Surrey last evening.
At approximately 6:51 pm, SPS officers responded to a call of shots fired outside a residential complex in the 100 block of 175A (176@ 2nd avenue) Street in South Surrey. Two suspects, described as men wearing dark clothing, reportedly fled on foot and it is unknown if they are connected to any vehicles. The suspects were not located despite police containing and searching the area with the assistance of the Lower Mainland Integrated Police Dog Service. Police located an individual at the scene they believe was the intended victim, but they were not injured. There have been no reported injuries and it is unknown if there was any property damage.
SPS investigators and Integrated Forensic Identification Service (IFIS) officers will be on scene throughout the night and possibly tomorrow speaking with and canvassing for witnesses, as well as searching for both physical and digital evidence.
There is no indication at this early stage that the incident is extortion related, but it is believed that this was a targeted incident.
Anyone with information about this incident, including if you have CCTV and/or dashcam footage, should contact Surrey Police Service’s non-emergency line at 604-599-0502 and quote file number 26-108223 (SP) or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Embattled MLA Brent Chapman Steps Back
l-r CHAPMAN / CONSERVATIVE candidate MEGAN KNIGHT / KERRY LYNNE FINDLAY
Former Conservative Party of BC MLA for the Surrey South riding has stepped down and removed his nomination from the electoral list for the upcoming Provincial election.
Political party OneBC says former Conservative legislator Brent Chapman and his wife, Kerry-Lynne Findlay, have been subjected to a “torrent of threats and abuse from insiders.”
Chapman announced last month that he was joining OneBC to run as a candidate in the Oct. 24 election after Findlay resigned as the Conservative party leader amid a caucus revolt.
Municipal elections to elect mayors and city councillors are coming up on October 17th, 2026.

Crosswalk Conundrum
I am a firm believer in the old adage "If you don't ask, the answer is always no." With 2026 being the 100th year anniversary of the Royal Canadian Legion, the 100th year of the White Rock Legion #8 and the 75th year of the Crescent Legion #240, I decided to ask the City of Surrey to paint Veteran's crosswalks at these three Surrey Legions. This followed the Cloverdale Legion #6 receiving one of these Veteran's crosswalks back in November 2025 that was painted in red and white featuring a silhouette of a kneeling soldier, a maple leaf, and the motto "Lest We Forget." My communication with Surrey City Hall began in the summer before the Crescent Legion's 75th anniversary and I was under no illusions that any of this would happen before the big party in August. It turns out I was correct but it was still a pleasant surprise to learn in September that Surrey Engineering had promised a Veteran's crosswalk would be installed at both the Crescent and White Rock Legion before Nov. 11th this year. I was also informed that the Whalley Legion #229 crosswalk has been delayed for at least a year due to construction around the city centrre.
