Elaine attended the 3rd Annual Butterfly Release at Chartwell Crescent Gardens Retirement Community this past Saturday.

This beautiful fundraiser supports the Peace Arch Hospice and featured live entertainment, silent and live auctions, a bake sale, and of course, a stunning butterfly release. What a magical way to support such an important cause!

It’s a wrap!

Last night’s Torchlight Parade and Waiter’s Race at the White Rock Sea Festival were a huge success!

Thousands lined Marine Drive to cheer on the waiters’ race and enjoy a vibrant display of floats, classic cars, performers, and community spirit. The energy was electric, the streets were packed, and the smiles were everywhere.

So much fun… and now, so tired! 😅
Until next year, White Rock!

Did you know? Elaine is the Co-Chair of the Public Art and Culture Advisory Committee (PACAC), the City advisory committee that helped bring this exciting project to life!
On July 31, the City of White Rock celebrated the launch of brand-new wayfinding signage along the scenic Hillside Walkways with a walking challenge at Centre Street and Columbia Avenue. This initiative supports Council’s vision to create welcoming public spaces and encourage community connection.
A huge thank you to the amazing members of PACAC for their passion and persistence in making this project a reality!
The Hillside Walkways stretch 1.5 km and feature 777 steps, connecting White Rock’s waterfront to uptown. Check out the new signage on:
- Cypress Street Hillside Walkway
- Helen Fathers Centre Street Hillside Walkway
- Foster Street Hillside Walkway

🌈✨ Last night, Elaine attended the Love is Love Gala — and what a beautiful evening it was! So many lovely faces, great conversations, and incredible people who make our community truly special. Events like this remind us just how inclusive, supportive, and vibrant White Rock is. 💖🏳️‍🌈

It’s with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to my colleague and friend, Councillor Michele Partridge.

Michele’s resignation is a great loss for Council and for the City of White Rock. Not only was she a dedicated public servant, but she was also a thoughtful, level-headed leader who consistently made decisions with the best interests of our entire community in mind.

I’m proud to have served alongside her. From day one, Michele and I took our responsibilities seriously. We attended all the governance training, and we understood that our role wasn’t about advocacy, but about governing for everyone. Her level-headedness and integrity will be deeply missed in the council chambers.

Michele, I will truly miss you sitting along the council table with me. I’m so proud of all you’ve given to this city, and I hope that whatever you’re going through right now, healing and peace find their way to you soon.

With respect and gratitude
Elaine Cheung

Did you know that Elaine is the President of the White Rock Farmers' Market and today was our Customer Appreciation Day!

What a fantastic day it was! We completely sold out of raffle tickets, gave away over 75 amazing prizes, and shared two incredible cakes generously donated by Thrifty Foods (yes, every last slice was gone!).

A big congratulations to all our prize winners and a heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out to support.

Special shoutout to our hardworking Board Members who rolled up their sleeves and made today such a success!

We’re still finalizing the total, but early numbers show we raised over $1,000 for the White Rock Pantry Project.

Stay tuned for the final tally — and thank you again for being part of this amazing community!
