Canada and British Columbia investments in local infrastructure help build community connections for people in Surrey and the Fraser Valley Region

Canada is contributing over $8 million, and B.C. is contributing more than $5 million. Federal funding is conditional on fulfilling all requirements regarding consultations with Indigenous groups.
