Quotes
Mayor Darryl Walker
City of White Rock
“These two Mayoral addresses are an opportunity for the business sector to get an update on the progress of White Rock City Council and the draft Economic Development Strategic Plan at a ticketed event, and for everyone in the community to get an update from a community perspective the same evening at a free virtual event.
We want to make sure everyone in the community gets the opportunity to hear about the challenges we’ve overcome together during the past 18 months, the successes we’ve achieved, and our shared vision for the future of White Rock.”
Ritu Khanna
Executive Director, South Surrey and White Rock Chamber of Commerce
“Businesses contribute significantly to the special welcoming character of White Rock. The annual State of the City Address gives the business community a chance to hear directly from the Mayor about City Council’s priorities for economic development and support for businesses. This year is especially important for us to come together as we move towards post pandemic recovery. The Chamber has hosted the event for years and we are honoured to have the Mayor of White Rock accept our invitation again this year.”
