“In White Rock, we have made a great deal of progress since we all stood outside our homes at 7 p.m., making noise to say ‘thank you’ to our health care, emergency and essential workers,” Walker said in a release. “As the rate of vaccination against COVID-19 grows, so does our excitement. Together, we have crossed a very difficult bridge and are experiencing optimism.
The report identifies a top-five list of council’s strategic priorities, including the official community plan review, solid waste pickup for multi-family dwellings, housing needs/affordable housing, community amenity contribution “shovel-in-the-ground” projects, and the city’s relationship with the Semiahmoo First Nation.
