Surrey Canada Day Activities

This year’s free family-friendly event kicks off at 10 a.m. and runs all day through 10:30 p.m.

It will feature an expanded Indigenous Village with a new Siam Stage, which means “Respected Ones” in Coast Salish languages.

The stage will showcase Indigenous cultural sharing from land-based Nations, a ceremony honouring Residential School Survivors, Indigenous education and contemporary performances. Indigenous artisans will also sell handmade art and goods in the Summer Market.

The Indian Residential School Survivors Society have partnered with the Indigenous Village to host “Sharing Circles” in a 25-foot Teepee. Here, the public is invited to participate in discussions with Residential School Survivors to learn first-hand about the hardships they lived through while attending the schools. Attendees will also have the opportunity to meet the children of the Residential School Survivors, who will share how their lives were impacted by the inter-generational trauma caused by the Residential School system.

The 13-hour celebration will also feature a wide array of food trucks, amusement rides, inflatables and interactive activities.
