Our community partners
The Environmental Extravaganza wouldn’t be possible without the efforts of our community partners. They work hard to bring this fun and informative series to you each year. Thank you! Learn about the incredible work they do in our community.
Surrey is situated on the unceded traditional and ancestral lands of the Salish Peoples, including the Katzie, Kwantlen and Semiahmoo Nations. We recognize them as stewards of this land since time immemorial—they walked these lands first and continue to care for them today.
In hosting the Environmental Extravaganza, we are honoured to be able to offer a variety of opportunities for people to care for and connect with these special places. We acknowledge our responsibility to further our work in reconciliation and hope you will continue to learn alongside us.
