Surrey Renames Park After Community Raises Concerns Over Historical Injustices

The City of Surrey has renamed a neighbourhood park following concerns from residents of Japanese descent about its historical namesake.

Drug-related offences rise nationally for first time in 12 years – StatCan

Statistics Canada says the country’s rate of police-reported drug crime has increased for the first time in more than a decade, marking a 13 per cent jump between 2023 and 2024.
