Join the excitement! Surrey Schools supports the BC Summer Games in Surrey

The BC Summer Games is being held in the City of Surrey July 19 to 22 and excitement is building for this youth athletics showcase.

Surrey Board of Education chair Laurae McNally says the event is exciting for our community and encourages everyone to get involved.

“The BC Summer Games is an investment in our youth, our city and our province,” says McNally.  “It is a great venue for young people to participate in and experience the rewards of sport and competition, and with the event here in Surrey, it offers an opportunity to see some of the best emerging athletes in B.C. right here in our own backyard.”

Numerous Surrey Schools students are volunteering and several current or retired school district employees are also involved.
