The Fraser Heights Community Association and its predecessor the Fraser Heights Ratepayers Association have contributed to the well-being of the community of Fraser Heights for over the past 50 years. Over those years, the focus has been on the retention and improvement of our community look and feel, shaping development through input to the City of Surrey, and ensuring and promoting safety in our community.
Fraser Heights is the area north of Highway 1, running from Golden Ears Way to the Port Mann Bridge.
While the organization historically has had regular public meetings to inform residents of the Association’s activities, Covid changed that approach, and the organization has largely been on-line, with communication through our web site at fhca.ca, and through group email communication.
The landscape for community organizations generally has changed significantly in the past 5 years. Development guidelines have been upended by Bill 44, where developers can proceed with higher density construction without any input from residents (or for that matter, from the City). Safety issues have been complicated through the Police transition, though some of the slack has been picked up by Neighbourhood Watch programs working toward a more safe environment.
Several of the current Board Members of the FHCA have indicated that they will not be putting their name forward for the next year, and the Association now is looking for nominations for a Board of Directors that will chart a future for the organization, including meeting structure (on-line or in-person), mandate, and fund raising methods. Board Members must be residents of Fraser Heights who are willing to volunteer their time to represent the best interests of our Community.
If you are interested in contributing to your Community by getting involved as a Board Member with the Fraser Heights Community Association, please forward your name and contact information to directors@fhca.ca, or alternatively call or text the President Ed MacIntosh at 604-818-7793. We will be sending out a notice of general meeting for regular business and election of a Board of Directors in the coming weeks.
