Oil Painting with Water Based Oils

Surrey is an Age Friendly City The City of Surrey values the diverse contributions of our aging population. Through respectful community engagement we collaborate with local organizations, levels of government, business, and most of all with seniors groups and individuals to ensure seniors, caregivers and their families have access to the resources and programs. The Seniors Advisory and Accessibility Committee, Chaired by Councillor Barbara Steele is a successful example of how a collective group of representatives of government, public safety, RCMP, Fire Services, non-profit organizations and seniors in the community can positively impact the lives of our aging population. In 2016 Surrey was officially recognized by the World Health Organization as an Age Friendly City. This recognition is a result of our commitment to the features of an Age Friendly Community and demonstrates our strong value and appreciation to our aging population. The City of Surrey offers a continuum of programs, services and events from prevention to intervention, available for all seniors, caregivers and their families. Seniors can enjoy a wide range of activities based on their interests and abilities.
