ON Friday, March 15, hundreds of people gathered at Surrey City Hall to celebrate the young changemakers in the community at the annual Surrey Steps Up Youth Showcase.

During the event, Surrey youth shared how they are making a positive impact in their schools and communities through displays and presentations. Celebrations included a dance floor, activities, games, food and performances.

“The number of youth in our community leading the way for their peers is truly exceptional,” said Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke. “Surrey Steps Up is our way to thank and acknowledge all the participants for their passion and positive impact they are making on our communities. I would also like to thank everyone who came to Surrey Steps Up to celebrate and cheer on their wonderful work.”

Hosted by the City of Surrey, Surrey RCMP, the Surrey School District, and a Youth Planning Team, the annual Surrey Steps Up event allows Surrey’s young change makers to take centre stage as they showcase their work to the public, including the celebration of good deeds, creative art and performances.
