Surrey Steps Up

Held each spring, Surrey Steps Up is an annual showcase of the positive impact youth have on the city. Celebrate the amazing young people who are transforming our schools and communities through good deeds, community projects, creating art and more.

Band-Aid

Held each fall, local youth singers, songwriters, solo artists, bands and DJs receive development and mentorship.

Band-Aid emerged out of the community. Youth musicians want to use their powers for good—to create a positive culture for young bands in Surrey. They want to collaborate, work together and learn together. Band-Aid is presented in partnership with Surrey Civic Theatres, Surrey Youth, and Healthy Communities.
