The Children’s Partnership of Surrey White Rock and the Surrey Board of Trade have teamed up to work together to create a more friendly and healthy environment in Surrey both for families and for business. During a Community Forum in October, 2012, Dr. Paul Kershaw from UBC presented his New Deal for Families at a community forum sponsored by the Surrey Board of Trade and the Children’s Partnership, presenting why it makes sense for businesses and government to create policies that work for families.

As a result of this forum and follow up work with the SBOT, the SBOT has now adopted the Business and Families Resolution and this Position Paper is being presented at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce for review. Click here for a link to see the SBOT Position Paper.
