ABOUT US
Who Are We?
SEMIAHMOO RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION
a dedicated grassroots citizens’ organization that works to protect and enhance the quality of life of area residents. The group, founded in the mid-1980s, advocates for good planning, the stability of approved city plans, and the creation of safe, clean, and livable neighbourhoods and adjoining commercial areas. We have reacted to numerous development and green space preservation issues that have arisen over the years. We have successfully brought forward citizen concerns, helped preserve our urban forest and have altered the scale of certain developments that threatened neighbourhoods. We have done our best to communicate items of concern to residents through newsletters and the media.
Concern re Our Town Centre
Read our comments; Surrey Council voted approval of Stage 2 of the Semiahmoo Town Centre Plan on 31 January 2022. This plan has the potential to transform the core commercial area, including the indoor mall, into a concrete jungle of many tall buildings and overshadowing existing residences. In addition, the plan proposes several increases in density such as 4 storey townhouses and six storey condos and includes two expansion areas where single family homes could become anything from townhouses to 12 storey buildings.
