The City of Surrey, situated in British Columbia, Canada, is part of Metro Vancouver and is one of 21 municipalities. Our location on the south side of the Fraser River in the Lower Mainland means we share a border with the United States of America.

The Salish Peoples, including the q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie), q̓ʷɑ:n̓ƛ̓ən̓ (Kwantlen), and Semiahma (Semiahmoo) land-based nations, have traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories in Surrey.

As the largest city in land area and the second most populous city within Metro Vancouver, Surrey is home to urban areas as well as significant agricultural and rural regions. Our city is also one of the fastest-growing, culturally diverse municipalities in Canada.

We strive to build vibrant, sustainable communities through technology and innovation and are recognized as a globally influential leader. With our entrepreneurial approach, substantial resources, and remarkable growth, we are creating an accessible and sustainable city where people can live, work, visit, and play.
