Council Recap
White Rock council returned from the August break last evening to deal with just two items.
- the majority of council BAINS/CHESNEY/MANNING/TREVEYLAN gave first and second reading to the long drawn out revised Official Community Plan. Mayor KNIGHT and councillors CHEUNG and LAWRENCE voted in opposition. An Open House will be scheduled for community input in September.
The main point of the revised community plan will see development spread out along North Bluff in order to keep highrise development from creeping down the White Rock hillside towards the water.
- the second item approved was a multi million dollar contract to completely tear up the parking lot to the West of the museum on the waterfront. A major disruption in drainage and wear and tear have necessitated the work to begin in September. Two months of disruption will be in place with a temporary parking opening in time for Bright Walk at Christmas time on the waterfront. Final paving will occur next Spring.

BC Conservative leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay is set to run in a by-election in Abbotsford-Mission on September 26th.
The NDP has announced it will run former agriculture minister Pam Alexis in the by-election
She unsuccessfully ran for a seat on Mission District Council in 2011, before winning election to council in 2014 by taking the largest number of votes. In 2018, she won the district's mayoral race.
She resigned as mayor of Mission on November 12, 2020. She suffered a stroke in September 2021, but recovered with no permanent side effects and resumed her work as MLA the following month.
She was named Minister of Agriculture and Food by Premier David Eby on December 7, 2022.
Since we can apparently rename anything we want....
Effective immediately, the area formerly known as "Surrey" has been annexed and rebranded as White Rock North.
Residents of White Rock North are cordially invited to fund our promenade upgrades and tax base. Please note that this rebrand does not grant parking privileges near the beach, nor does it allow you to tell people you live in White Rock when traveling.
Folks from the Peace, Love and Handshake group were at the U.S./Canadian Border Saturday amid the new 50% tariff on Canadian goods and pressure on area businesses a group of Canadians arrived with boxes of Timbits. When America sends tariffs we send donuts!

KEEP THE SPS IN SURREY
Mayor’s Statement: Surrey Police Service collective agreement
I’m pleased to see the Surrey Police Board and the Surrey Police Union reach a new four-year collective agreement.
It recognizes the important work police officers do to keep Surrey safe and supports the continued development of a strong municipal police service.
I want to thank both sides for their efforts and commitment in reaching this outcome.

Peninsula Village - SPS Appeals for Witnesses to Collision
Surrey Police Service (SPS) is appealing for any witnesses to a weekend collision between a cyclist and vehicle, or anyone who may have dashcam footage of the collision, to come forward to police.
At approximately 1:51 pm on August 23, 2026, SPS officers responded to a report from BCEHS of a collision between a cyclist and a vehicle at the intersection of 154 Street and 24 Avenue in south Surrey. Officers arrived to find the cyclist, an adult male, being treated by BCEHS paramedics. He was transported to hospital with what were described as serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. The driver, who was not injured, remained at the scene.
SPS’s Collision Investigation Unit has taken over the lead on the investigation, and the cause of the collision remains under investigation.
SPS investigators are asking anyone who witnessed the collision or anyone who was driving in the area and who may have dashcam footage, to please contact SPS’s non-emergency number at 604-599-0502 and quote file 26-90037 (SP
1992 – THE CITY OF WHITE ROCK: COAT OF ARMS. The City Council of the City of White Rock was the first municipality in Canada to request a grant of arms from the newly established Canadian Heraldic Authority.
When the Authority was less than two weeks old, then-Mayor Gordon Hogg submitted Council's request of June 16, 1988.
The Patent itself was completed February 16, 1992 to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the City's incorporation April 15, 1957. This milestone anniversary was marked April 10 by a visit of Governor General Ramon Hnatyshyn and his wife. During the visit, a special ceremony was held at First United Church.
In the shield, blue and white, the colors of the sea and sky predominate and the City's Oceanside landmark, the great White Rock, rises above the waters of the Bay. Above it is a Salish salmon symbolizing the riches of the natural landscape and honoring the Semiahmoo People, the first inhabitants of the area.
In the crest, the crown is the traditional heraldic symbol for civic government. In this case, it is ornamented with silver maple leaves and stars to indicate White Rock's proximity to the international boundary. Above, the gold demi-sun testifies to White Rock's mild, sunny climate and its attractions as a resort.
The supporters, a mermaid and merman, honor the men and women who created the City as well as the spirit of the sea. The mermaid wears a medallion featuring the masks of tragedy and comedy, as an emblem of White Rock's cultural life and a floral crown, a symbol of the City's gardens. The merman's medallion shows a steam locomotive wheel, representing transportation heritage. At the base, the compartment is of sea sand featuring sandcastles, representing informal recreation on the City's magnificent beach and White Rock's legendary sandcastle competition. Between the castles is a medallion showing the City's famous pier.
The motto, which was one of the Committee's earliest choices, expresses important characteristics and aspirations of the City.

Findlay Lays An Egg
Unfortunately for the Conservatives they picked a leader who was not a sitting MLA meaning that KLF Kerry Lynne Findlay needs someone to resign for her to hopefully win the riding in a by-election. Many of the Conservatives who did not support her, including former United party members, were apparently reluctant to make way for the new leader and give up their $122,000 yearly salary. Delta's Ian Paton has stated he was offered a position as agriculture advisor for the Conservatives at the same pay as his MLA salary if he resigned his seat. Prince George's Rosalyn Bird has revealed that Finlay threw a temper tantrum during a phone call after she refused to give up her riding so KLF could run there. Finally Abbotsford-Mission MLA Reanne Gasper agreed on Aug. 22nd to step down allowing Findlay to run and amazingly Reanne was immediately hired as KLF's Chief of Staff.
