City of Surrey's 2024-2028 Financial Plan

CITY GOVERNMENT AND ADMINISTRATION

COMMITTEES, BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS Committees, Boards and Commissions meet to discuss relevant and important issues that affect Surrey residents. Some groups are formed organically through citizen engagement, while other groups are formed through a provincial mandate. In both cases, the intention of such groups is to help the City of Surrey operate as a representative, efficient and transparent local government.
