On May 26, Surrey City Council held a public hearing on the proposed Construction Waste Recycling Depot at 10436 173 Street. The Fraser Heights Community Association spoke to the Mayor and Council and was strongly opposed to the approval of the variances required to enable the facility to go ahead. Over 300 people from our community attended, and listed their names against the proposal, and approximately 20 spoke at the meeting.
The Mayor and Council voted unanimously to reject the proposal due to the significant negative impact on the Fraser Heights Community. Thank you to all who attended, to those who gathered petitions locally, and to all who contributed their time to ensure that the facility did not go ahead.
It is testimony to how we can shape our community, and how our collective voice is strong as an Association.
