Phase 1 engagement: What we did and what we heard

Engagement for the Official Community Plan (OCP) Update is well underway. In February, we launched our first phase of engagement. On Family Day, we hosted events in all six town centres in Surrey. In March, we hosted pop-ups at community facilities and at local university campuses to hear from more families and youth.

To go along with the outreach, we ran an online community survey, which closed on March 31, 2024. We heard from residents of all ages and who lived in all six communities in Surrey. Over 3,600 residents completed the survey. Participants shared what they loved about Surrey and what they view as some of the challenges the City is facing. To learn more about what we heard, check out the Phase 1 What We Heard Report.
