Subject: Whalley's Corner Street Sign Dedication Ceremony
The purpose of this memo is to invite Mayor and Council to attend an unveiling of the new Historic District street signs at “Whalley’s Corner” during the Whalley’s Corner Community Festival.
Date: Saturday June 27th
Time: 11 am to 4 pm
Ceremony: 1 pm
Location: Festival Stage: Grosvenor Road and Whalley Boulevard (see attached)
Over the past few years, business owners and community members have come together to meet and discuss opportunities and challenges in the area around King George Boulevard and 108th Avenue. The group, called the Whalley Community Improvement Association, has been instrumental in working with City staff, elected officials and the RCMP to bring positive change to the area. The group has helped to network and connect community members and businesses to each other.
To acknowledge this community engagement, the City has developed new street signs to be placed in 6 locations along King George Boulevard between Bentley Road and 107 A Avenue. The signs recognize the importance of “Whalley’s Corner” in the development of this historic district, and celebrate the commitment of residents and business owners to work on further enhancing this area.
Invited guests from the Whalley Community Improvement Association, the RCMP, members of the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association, Surrey City Staff, residents and elected officials who are working on improving the area around Whalley’s Corner will come together at the festival stage at the Whalley’s Corner Community Festival for an opportunity to unveil the signs and celebrate the recent achievements made in creating a stronger and more connected community.
Councillor Steele will be in attendance to provide welcoming remarks.
