City of Surrey 2020-2024 Financial Plan

CITY GOVERNMENT AND ADMINISTRATION

COMMITTEES, BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS Committees, Boards and Commissions meet to discuss relevant and important issues that affect the Surrey community. Some groups, such as the Environmental Sustainability Advisory Committee, are formed organically, through citizen engagement. Other groups, such as the Board of Variance, 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.
