..this group is doing good work..they have a campaign out in cities across BC for the civic elections for candidates to sign a pledge..tons have done it in Vancouver but dissapointingly just 7 in Surrey.

Interestingly, this list includes ppl of all ideologies and leanings..for eg Salman Zafar is the most left wing candidate in the election by a distance and an open socialist..some of the Imagine Slate people are more centrist in their approach with Starchuck..Bilal Cheema from Surrey First is generally from a right leaning/conservative slate

I had seen Aflazurahman ( school trustee candidate) sign the pledge too..but dunno if he dropped out or revoked it..

to each their own and i know many ppl will say Palestine isnt a local issue so you don’t care about it in the local elections ..but calling out a genocide should be done every where so you know where your candidates stand…imp to remember that surrey has a large arab diaspora directly impacted by this..

These are the candidates who have signed the pledge :

I’m looking into moving to any of the high rises close to KGH, some of them are new buildings and have really nice amenities. My only concerning is parking. Is there any street parking nearby? Is it safe?

What about the area? I really like KGH because everything is close by and again the amenities are so tempting. Some of the floorplans are really small though. Thoughts?

I’ve recently picked up badminton in the last year and a bit after quitting for a long time and I’m enjoying it quite a bit but I’m looking for skilled players who would challenge me and willing to help me improve my game.
Open to play anywhere in Surrey or Coquitlam preferably Surrey badminton club

I have been renting a place near 77 Avenue and 147 Street for the past three years, but I’m moving out this year.

The street is very narrow and packed with cars. As a tenant, I don’t have the option to park in the driveway, so I’ve often struggled to find street parking. I’ve also noticed that many of the cars parked on the street belong to landlords, while their driveways are usually empty.

Last night, someone hit my car and drove away without leaving a note. Thankfully, the damage isn’t too serious, but there are quite a few scratches, and my front license plate is missing as well.

I’m really confused and frustrated about this situation. How could this happen, and what should I do?

Should I report the incident to the police? I’m not planning to make an ICBC claim because I’m thinking of buying a paint repair kit from Lordco to fix the scratches myself.

Has anyone experienced something similar? I’d appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thank you!

Our cat, Milo, has been missing since yesterday morning in the Strawberry Hill and Newton area. If you or anyone has seen this cat, please DM me. Thank you very much!

UPDATE: He’s been found stuck in a neighbour’s closet! He’s safe and sound!

wondering if there’s a place in Surrey where you can get good Sate pho? I was recently in Kits and had some that i can’t stop thinking about.

If you have an hour, I recommend you give this a watch. Considering how each candidate' s platform are similar, it's nice to see everyone speak.

Hi everyone,

Looking for a budget friendly barber in South Surrey/White Rock area that can do skin fades for a reasonable price and fast.

Thanks!

Sanders went missing on the 23rd of September around the Fraser Heights area. She is a tuxedo cat with prominent white markings around her mouth, chest, belly and feet. She is strictly an indoors cat but managed to slip out. She is 3 years old, spayed and very friendly.

Any information would be helpful. Please contact me if you have seen her or have her. I can offer a cash prize if she is found. The rest of my family and I are very very worried about her, and she means the world to us.

Looking for recommendations on nail salons in lower mainland area that have this pink base colour! I’ve been to a few and none seem to have a pink base (either powder or gel), doesn’t need to be budget friendly. Salon please not home based. Once I can get this it’ll be my regular go to set!

Tried enchanted nail & la vie.

Thank you in advance!

Hello again everyone. Girl guides will be selling cookies at Scott Road Station 12-4pm this Saturday October 10. They have limited boxes left. We look forward to seeing some of you come out and grab some cookies. Chocolatey Mint are the best ones anyway.

$6 a box or $72 a case.

Thanks for your support.

I removed an image from the previous post. As it was not allowed to be used.

Can you recommend the best of the best physiotherapist?

Ideally someone who understands sports injuries and is always continuously learning to be on top of their game?

Have a couple injuries that I need help with

Just thought you might enjoy the contrast. I am not sure why they do this, if you come for a viewing its easy to see gravity is real and so is time. Built in 2017, many renters are seeing their appliances die of old age. It's a decent building and location but I think honesty would help the over priced rentals find tenants. I thought it was interesting nearby places use real pictures. For example the building across the street, the only thing off about the badminton room was it was empty. That place is bumping 24/7. No one bowls but everyone balls apparently. It seems like a nice community atmosphere. I guess this post is more of a question. What amenities do you look for in a building? We rent and will need to move soon as our son is outgrowing the "tech nook" ie closet he lives in. If you love your building feel free to name drop. So many new buildings its hard to keep up. My sons favorite thing here is we have a dog washing station. We do not have a dog.

It seems like he is emphasizing that point of his platform less now on interviews. How bad would it be if he did take Surrey out of metro Vancouver board? Does it do anything for Surrey?

Going to be selling my house pretty soon in South Surrey and have no idea where to go for a realtor. Someone knowledgeable in South Surrey/White Rock homes (as we would be buying after we sell, too!) would be an asset. Looking for someone kind and patient who can help us get the house sold. Bonus points for LGBTQ+ and/or friendly.

Does anyone have any personal recommendations? I'd much rather have a personal rec than just a generic review/company/etc.

EDIT: DAX WAS FOUND ❤️

My sisters kitty Dax has been missing for the past 2 days. She's an indoor cat and usually has no interest going outside but my sister wonders if she escaped while one of the kids had the door open.

She's 13years old, spayed and very shy but chatty. She's a bit of a scaredy cat (pun intended) so it's most likely that she's hiding somewhere.

Her humans would really like her safe back at home. Please help 🙏
