Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Area

Investing In Our Future

I have been looking out of my office window at the corner of 108th Avenue and University Drive since July 1996 – almost 18 years. In fact, I started my career in 1980 in an office just east of King George on 108th. It was a small, low-rise building and it's still there. Of course, back then there were no high-rise buildings. The changes in this area over those years have been amazing and truly been inspiring. Now it almost seems that every month the landscape changes as new cranes move in and high-rises dot the skyline.

Change does not happen without effort and commitment. The investment undertaken by the City of Surrey itself in our area has proven to be the economic driver that the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association envisioned. It is an investment not just in buildings and concrete, but also in culture, health and quality of life. The Chuck Bailey Rec Centre opened in 2010 and is the location of the first covered Skateboard Park in Surrey as well as the home of the Sunrise Seniors. The spectacular Main Branch of the Surrey Libraries opened in 2011 and attracts thousands of people into Downtown Surrey every week. The new City Hall, just opened in February 2014, will bring business and professionals and community members into the Downtown core on a regular basis.

The Provincial Government has also invested in Downtown Surrey, providing funding for the Jimmy Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre as well as the expansion of Surrey Memorial Hospital located in the southern area of the Downtown Surrey area.

These projects are just the start. The City's commitment to creating a vibrant metropolitan centre has attracted over three billion dollars of private funds for residential and commercial developments. These projects will bring thousands of new residents and employees to our area, residents and employees who will both frequent existing businesses and draw new businesses to Downtown Surrey.

The focus of the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association is not just on big development or big change. It is on the improvement of business in our area, large and small, directly and indirectly, by working and advocating in our members' interests with the City and other levels of government. Working with various stakeholder groups, the DSBIA Board and staff work tirelessly to bring the good news of our emerging Downtown to audiences far and wide. Details of many of those efforts are in the Annual Report. I hope you take a moment to read about the individual committees featured in the Annual Report,

and to review and understand the ongoing work of the DSBIA.

Like any area in transition, we recognize there are still challenges to overcome. But given the successes we have already experienced, we are confident that by working collaboratively with others, positive change will continue to happen.

I would like to thank my fellow Board of Directors for their hard work and dedication. I value their leadership and guidance.

I would also like to thank our CEO, Elizabeth Model for limitless energy she brings to promoting Downtown Surrey at every opportunity. We have been very lucky to have someone of her calibre to lead the organization forward. I would also like to thank Bonnie Burnside and Tracey Gravel for their day-to-day commitment to Downtown Surrey and the Membership. And finally, I would like to thank all of the members for their input, their effort and their participation in the evolution of our community.

Surrey is definitely an exciting place to live, work and to do business. There is a confidence and enthusiasm here that few other communities can match. It is a pleasure and a privilege to be involved and I look forward to the remainder of my term in 2014.

James Stewart,

President
