Our new Surrey LIP Community Plan 2024–2029 encapsulates our joint aspiration to foster a city that epitomizes diversity, inclusion, and equity at its core.
Community PlanEach year, our Council collaborates to develop a strategic plan outlining key actions and initiatives designed to address the needs of newcomers and enhance community integration. Our Action Plan focuses on actionable goals and measurable outcomes to ensure that we make a meaningful impact throughout the year.
Annual Action PlanSurrey LIP recognizes that our work takes place on the ancestral, traditional and unceded territories of the SEMYOME (Semiahmoo), q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie), kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), q̓ʷɑ:n̓ƛ̓ən̓ (Kwantlen), qiqéyt (Qayqayt), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) and sc̓əwaθən məsteyəxʷ (Tsawwassen) First Nations.
The knowledge, traditions and ongoing contributions of these communities are significant in providing context to the work we do, and Surrey LIP recognizes the importance that reconciliation has in building truly inclusive and strong communities.
