Crescent Beach Rail Crossing
On Tuesday, myself, along with fellow Surrey First candidates Dave Woods and Vera LeFranc, with Councillors Judy Villeneuve and Linda Hepner, at the rail crossing in Crescent Beach.
The Surrey First team ensured all in attendance, that Surrey First will ensure that all safety concerns regarding access and egress issues due to rail traffic will need to be addressed. We can`t have this community delayed from access to Police, Fire or Ambulance services due to rail traffic.
Community Ride For Health
I was pleased to be able to attend (alongside Surrey Councillor Linda Hepner) the kickoff of the Surrey Fire Fighters Association ‘Ride For Community Health’ this morning.
This is the inaugural year of a cycling event aimed at benefiting and supporting the physical & mental health of our community. Participants will be treated to a challenging 100km cycling experience through the City of Surrey’s parks & streets. This event will allow community members, sponsors & supporters to come together to raise funds and awareness for our charitable initiatives. Although the registration is now closed, you can find out more information, and support this worthwhile event, on the Surrey Fire Fighters’ website at https://surreyfirefighters.com/
You can also follow their progress via twitter, as they share their progress, at: https://twitter.com/Local1271

It also contains information about the Surrey First team – a coalition of independent, non-partisan, community voices working together to build a better Surrey.
Mike has, throughout his career as a Surrey Fire Fighter, always been involved and worked in the community. With your support, he would like to continue that work, by representing Surrey on City Council.

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
On the weekend, I completed both sides of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge… donating to ALS Canada, and taking one for the team!
Thanks to Surrey City Councilor Linda Hepner for the nomination.
In my turn, I call out retired Capt Peter Choy, Rookie RCMP Constable Trish Douglas, Surrey Social Advocate Vera LeFranc & Denise Douglas… You have 24 hours to donate to an ALS charity, or take the challenge. (Or, preferably, BOTH!)
In my video I talk about Augie’s story… here is a link to the Augie’s Quest website.
