ON June 3, the Surrey Steps Up Youth Showcase took place at Surrey City Hall to celebrate the young people in the community who are “stepping up” to make positive contributions in their schools and communities. Hundreds of people gathered as local youth took centre stage to showcase their community initiatives and celebrate with a dance floor, activities, games, food and performances.

“I am impressed by the positive impact young people have in our city. The energy, dedication and creativity they brought to this year’s Surrey Step’s Up Youth Showcase must be commended,” said Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum. “Thank you to all our local youth and future leaders for making Surrey Steps Up a resounding success and for continuing to be positive role models for those around you.”

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