Supporting Art Classes with Teacher Grace
The Arts Umbrella South Surrey location was closed due to a rent increase, leaving many programs, including art classes taught by Grace Gihm, without a venue. However, several students were eager to continue their art journey with Grace.
We help by sharing the information on our Rednote account, connecting Grace with the local community. Through our efforts, a new venue was secured at Angle Brush, allowing the classes to resume.
The program started with 6 students and soon grew to 10 students, ensuring these young artists could continue learning and thriving under Grace’s guidance. This case highlights our commitment to supporting educators and fostering creative opportunities for youth in the community.
Connecting Local Businesses with Peace Arch Hospital Foundation
We successfully introduced a local businesses — Moon Thai Massage & Spa— to the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation, resulting in their inclusion in the Foundation’s 2025 Calendar.
The Peace Arch Hospital Foundation’s mandate is to support local programs and initiatives that foster the creation of the healthiest community possible. To align with this vision, the Foundation collaborated with local businesses in the South Surrey/White Rock area, featuring some each month in their annual calendar.
Through our efforts, Moon Thai Massage & Spa, was spotlighted as a key contributor to the community’s wellness and vibrancy and was featured in the calendar with a special coupon, encouraging community members to sample their services.
This collaboration not only provided these businesses with meaningful exposure but also strengthened the Foundation’s efforts to build connections within the community.
Supporting Semiahmoo Trail: How Collective Action Preserved a Historic Legacy
In 2024, the City of Surrey announced plans to expand a cemetery onto part of the 150-year-old Semiahmoo Trail, a site listed on Canada’s Register of Historic Places. This sparked strong opposition from local residents and non-profit organizations who sought to protect the trail’s ecological, cultural, and historical value.
In response, our RedNote account launched an awareness campaign, sharing detailed posts about the trail’s heritage and the implications of the proposed cemetery expansion. We assisted in organizing and promoting a community walk on November 29, 2024, which drew over 200 participants, demonstrating widespread public concern.
Thanks to the collective efforts of residents, community groups, and heritage advocates, the City of Surrey eventually withdrew its cemetery expansion plan on the trail.
Following this success, we collaborated with Friends of Semiahmoo Trail to design promotional posters for their city-supported trail walk. We published the event on our RedNote Account, helping to attract nearly 200 more local residents to join and celebrate the preservation of this vital piece of history.
