With COVID-19 precautions set to stay in place for the foreseeable future, the City of Surrey is taking its annual Canada Day celebration online.
A provincial ban on gatherings of more than 50 people is expected to remain in place until a vaccine is developed or there is wide immunity to the virus among the public.
The city has recruited Canadian hockey legend and four-time Olympic gold medalist Haley Wickeneiser to host the celebrations, which will be streamed through Surrey’s Facebook and YouTube channels.
