I heard that White Rock’s first night market was a huge success! Big thank you to our community policing volunteers conducting patrols tonight!

May 12-18 is National Victims of Crime Week. This year's theme is, "The Power of Collaboration." It is through collaboration with police, courts, community partners and our victim services unit that we are able to support victims of crime with a trauma informed focus to help lessen the impacts of crime and trauma.
The goal of Victims and Survivors of Crime Week is to raise awareness about the issues facing victims of crime and the services, assistance and laws in place to help victims and their families.

June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day. For generations, many Indigenous groups and communities have celebrated their culture and heritage on June 21 or around that time of year because of the significance of the summer solstice as the longest day of the year.
National Indigenous Peoples Day is an opportunity for Canadians to come together, reflect on and celebrate the rich and unique heritage, traditions, and knowledge of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.

Today at 11:00 AM, Semiahmoo Chief Harley Chappell will share some of Semiahmoo First Nation's ancient history and stories at P'Quals, the iconic white rock on east beach.
There are events happening throughout the day in local communities to honour the achievements, contributions and resilience of Indigenous Peoples. For more information of what is happening in your area, please see the links below:
