Surrey’s Environmental Extravaganza

Part of being on the West Coast / Wet Coast is branching outside of downtown Vancouver and exploring other communities. This month in suburbia, the City of Surrey is hosting an Environmental Extravaganza, filled with events at dozens of venues, and each one being completely free to attend.

Celebrate Surrey’s natural environment at events hosted by local community groups! The Environmental Extravaganza is a unique, annual, 7-week FREE celebration that focuses on Surrey’s natural environment and the people who share the common goal of protecting it.
