Public Engagement

As the City grows, residents are looking for more opportunities to help shape projects and policies that impact them. The City is striving to match this increased need with enhanced engagement practices.

Discover the ways you can give your input on things like City infrastructure, City services, Park improvements, and Land Use Planning.

Please note that due to COVID-19, the City has cancelled or postponed all in-person Public Engagement Events until further notice. Instead, we are using virtual engagement opportunities where possible, including online surveys and virtual open houses.

Active Surveys

Share your input on City policies, programs, projects and services with our active surveys.

Surrey Transportation Plan Survey

We’ve created a draft vision and identified four bold moves that respond to the community values and current Surrey transportation experience that our citizens shared with us in the first phase of public consultation.

Why We Engage

The City often makes decisions that impact the lives of its residents. These decisions may affect day-to-day services, new strategies and policies, and large capital projects. Engagement is about bringing people into these processes. Making real connections with people creates relationships and builds trust. This encourages community support for initiatives and fosters civic participation.

See What Others Have Told Us

At the end of each engagement, we report back on our findings. For larger, multi-phase projects, we may report back multiple times. View our past engagement results to see what we've heard.
