The City of Surrey has closed the Crescent Beach pier due to “non-compliance” of COVID-19 protocols.
In front of the pier is a sign, along with orange fencing, that blocks the entrance.

The sign reads, “pier closed temporarily due to non-compliance.” It then links to the COVID-19 section of the city’s website.

On Twitter, the City of Surrey is reminding people about the importance of social distancing.
“Socialize safely by keeping your bubble small and always maintain a physical distance of 2 metres from others,” the city tweeted.
Vancouver recently had an incident of overcrowding at a drum circle at the beach.
This disregard for safety measures may be why B.C. has seen an uptick in COVID-19 cases in recent weeks. On Tuesday, provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry announced 146 new cases since Friday.
