A city with momentum.

Surrey is the second-largest city in British Columbia and is moving upward and forward at a pace that’s faster and stronger than others.

Surrey City Centre’s population will double in the next 20 years. 25% of Metro Vancouver residents will live in Surrey by 2046. 40,000 new jobs will appear in the city over the next 10 years.

Why? Well, Surrey has smarts when it comes to community and knowing what people want.

Surrey is a great, affordable place to live,
and just keeps on getting better.

The city’s forward-thinking initiatives are award-winning, not to mention better for the community, environment, and economy. The expanding transportation network includes four SkyTrain stations, lots of bus routes, and a proposed transit line that will connect Surrey’s core to it’s growing neighbourhood centres. Nature is a big deal, with over 200 parks, 6,000 acres of parkland, and 100 kilometres of trails. Bright ideas will continue to grow in the 102 elementary, 27 secondary, and 5 major post-secondary schools.
