A SURREY Tradition This photo of the frozen flooded fields at Fry’s Corner, which is the intersection of Fraser Highway and Pacific Highway (176 Street), was taken back in 1962. When the mercury dropped, the icy fields served as a hot spot to socialize, skate and play the good ol’ hockey game. Image courtesy of the Surrey Archives
