Even though the day started off a little iffy with the weather, it turned into a beautiful afternoon in White Rock! ☀️
Elaine started the day at the White Rock Farmers Market, which was absolutely packed with happy faces, great local vendors, and an incredible community atmosphere. From there, she headed down to the waterfront to check out Walk the Rock, the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation’s Youth in Action fundraiser supporting the Every Second Counts campaign. ❤️
It was amazing to see so many young leaders and volunteers coming together to support critical care and cardiac monitoring equipment at Peace Arch Hospital. The event featured oceanside yoga, family activities, food trucks, games, and so much community spirit along the promenade and at Memorial Park.
And yes… Elaine even won a few prizes too 🎉 a travel mug, two gift certificates to Café 24 & Bistro, and two gift cards to Sungiven Foods!
Huge congratulations to the Youth in Action team and all the volunteers, sponsors, and organizers behind this fantastic community event.

I was honoured to attend and deliver the opening remarks at the Life in Translation exhibition at the Uptown Gallery last night.

Featuring the work of talented local artists Linda Pearce, Jack Turpin, and Tracy H., the exhibit explores how the artists reflect their perspectives about the environment around them and translate them into art. I am so grateful to have so many wonderful artists in our community and to see their beautiful creations is such an honour.

Be sure to stop by and experience it for yourself!

Yesterday was a busy and exciting day in White Rock!

After celebrating the grand opening of the new outdoor fitness equipment at Generations Park, I headed over to the White Rock Museum & Archives for the launch of their Summer 2026 exhibit: Buster: BC’s Mountain Dinosaur 🦕

It was great to join Mayor Megan Knight, Councillors Lawrance and Manning, along with museum board members, staff, and City staff for this special opening.

This exhibit brings to life Buster, a Ferrisaurus sustutensis, the first dinosaur species unique to British Columbia, with fascinating 3D-printed fossils, photos, and expedition stories.

Even better, the exhibit will be here through Canada Day and the Sea Festival, making it a perfect activity for residents and visitors alike.

Be sure to stop by this summer and check it out!

Great way to kick off June! ☀️
Today I had the chance to celebrate the grand opening of the new outdoor fitness equipment at Generations Park alongside Mayor Megan Knight, Councillor Lawrance, the White Rock Firefighters Charity Association, and Stephanie Beck from the Peace Arch Hospital & Community Health Foundation.
I even tried out a few pieces myself, such a fantastic addition! 💪 The location couldn’t be better, right next to our Centennial track, making it easy for everyone to stay active.
Perfect timing as the ParticipACTION Community Challenge kicks off this month. White Rock is already off to an incredible start... currently ranked #1 in BC and #5 in Canada for the most active communities! 🎉

Let’s keep the momentum going:
✅ Check out the new equipment
✅ Hit the track
✅ Log your activities using the ParticipACTION app
Every step, walk, workout, and activity counts toward helping White Rock become one of Canada’s most active communities. Let’s do this together! 💙

It is always a pleasure to give back to our community, especially when it comes with a little friendly challenge!
While supporting the Semiahmoo Community Safety Society fundraiser, Polly asked me, "How much are you going to donate?" I replied, "$100." Without missing a beat, she smiled and said, "What if I matched you and raised you another $25?"
Challenge accepted!
That meant we each donated $125, raising a total of $250 for this incredible organization.
What makes this even more special is that Polly has a long history of serving our community through Community Policing, and she made sure to come out and support this important cause. She proudly wore her old Community Policing volunteer jacket and even wore the shoes she purchased years ago while volunteering. It was such a wonderful reminder of her years of service and dedication to our community.
The Semiahmoo Community Safety Society continues to make a real difference in our community, and it makes me especially happy to support it knowing that its President, Dianna Stocker, is one of my dearest friends. Her passion, leadership, and commitment to helping others are second to none, and the organization is fortunate to have her at the helm. ❤️
Moments like these remind me why I love White Rock and South Surrey so much. It's a community filled with people who care, step up, support one another, and never stop finding ways to make a difference.
❤️ I love this community!

There’s been a lot of discussion lately about provincial housing changes and a lot of confusion.
Here’s a simple breakdown of what’s fact vs fiction.

These are complex issues with real impacts on our community, so it’s important we ground the conversation in accurate information.

Happy to answer questions.

What a beautiful day supporting an incredible cause 💙

Today, Elaine volunteered at the Peace Arch Hospice hike, helping sell 50/50 tickets and what a success it was! The pot grew to over $1,600, with one lucky winner taking home half. Even more amazing, the hospice didn’t just meet their fundraising goal of $44,000… they exceeded it, raising over $47,000! So heartwarming to see so many familiar faces come together in support of compassionate care in our community. Days like this remind you just how strong and generous our community truly is. 🌿
