Winter Recreation Guide 2023

Welcome Come Explore

SAY IT AIN’T SNOW! With the holiday season ending, it’s officially wintertime in Surrey! As we turn the page on a new year–packing up decorations, grazing leftovers and dusting off alarm clocks for our first day back at work–it’s common to feel a little blue these days. Scarce sunlight and chilly temperatures have a way of making hibernation seem like a novel idea! With that said, it’s important to remember that a new year represents new beginnings. With countless events and activities to explore this season, the City of Surrey can help you make the most out of 2023 by embracing new experiences and building a sense of community. The magic of the holiday season may have come and passed, but this winter, the festive spirit lives on in Surrey! CHECK OUT Cool Activities ACROSS THE CITY THIS WINTER
