Surrey has always been welcoming to new residents from across Canada and around the globe. This key element has transformed Surrey into a vibrant urban city — soon be the largest in BC. The community’s size and diversity brings with it many amazing facets, allowing community members and visitors alike to experience Surrey’s six distinct neighbourhoods through a different lens. With such a wide range of things to do and ways to experience them, the real story of Surrey is told using many voices from all walks of life.
Surrey Through My Lens proudly shares authentic photo essays that showcase what it is really like to live in and visit our community from a range of perspectives. Each feature is a snapshot of how the photographer, planner, or producer connects with their neighbourhood – sharing their deep connection with their community and neighbourhood through visual stories. Each answers the question: “What does Surrey look like through my lens?” in a compelling and personal way.
So make sure to check back regularly to see each new feature!
