‘Coldest Night of the Year’ Walk
The ‘Coldest Night of the Year’ is a family-friendly walk in support of charities that serve those experiencing hurt, hunger & homelessness. This year’s walk takes place on February 24th.
Together with thousands of Canadians across the country, we’ll be walking and fundraising to support people and families experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness, right here, in our community. The Cloverdale walk is in support of the Cloverdale Community Kitchen, and our team is “MLA Mike Starchuk’s Community Stars.”
Join us for a 2K walk and fundraise or donate today.

Mike Starchuk’s Community Stars – March 2023
It was my honour to address the BC Professional Fire Fighters at the 12th Annual Robert E. Hall Legislative Conference on March 6th. Cancer Screening for fire fighters and psychological safety training are always top of mind, as is paying respect to the BCPFFA members who made the ultimate sacrifice and gave their lives to the communities they served in.

Inside of the card are the following words:
THANK YOU for helping to make Canada an inclusive and welcoming nation. We are fortunate to live in a country that celebrates its diverse range of backgrounds and beliefs of its citizens. Together our contributions make Surrey a thriving and vibrant community.

SFU Surrey Campus Expansion
Today there was a remarkable announcement made by Prime Minister Trudeau, Premier Clark, Mayor Hepner and SFU President Petter, regarding the SFU Surrey campus expansion.
This is a great collaboration of all levels of government, which make this new expansion possible.
The architecture of the late Bing Thom leaves the Downtown Surrey core with legacy building for all to enjoy.
It was said today that “all great Cities have great Universities”. Well said, Mayor Hepner!
