Presented by TD Bank Group, more than 15,000 attendees gathered for B.C.\u2019s largest Earth Day event, celebrating sustainability, community, and environmental action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach year, I look forward to Surrey\u2019s Party for the Planet, and celebrating our 15th event is an important milestone,\u201d said Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke. \u201cThis event brings people together to learn about sustainability and the wide range of initiatives underway across the city. Together, we can continue to build a greener future for Surrey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Party for the Planet had humble beginnings as a small Earth Day event at Bear Creek Park, drawing just a few hundred people. In 2010, following the success of the City\u2019s Olympic celebration site at Holland Park, it expanded into an annual signature event. Over the past 15 years, it has grown to fill Surrey Civic Plaza, attracting upwards of 10,000 people each year.<\/p>\n<p>The Surrey Parks plant sale was once again one of the event\u2019s most popular attractions, selling out of more than 1,500 affordable native plants. This year\u2019s event also highlighted the City\u2019s environmental initiatives, including the Climate Action Team, Climate\u2011Friendly Homes, and ReThink Waste.<\/p>\n<p>Attendees participated in a hands\u2011on activity with the Salmon Habitat Restoration Program (SHaRP), painting wooden salmon to raise awareness about local salmon habitats. The painted salmon will be displayed along Quibble Creek at 9910 Whalley Boulevard on May 23 in celebration of World Fish Migration Day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParty for the Planet was another huge success, and TD was thrilled to take part in the celebrations,\u201d said Chris Sirovyak, Surrey district vice president of TD Bank Group. \u201cWe were proud to serve as the presenting sponsor for this marquee event as it marked its 15th\u00a0year, continuing to inspire thousands to contribute to a more vibrant and sustainable planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Attendees are invited to provide feedback on Party for the Planet 2026 for a chance to win a $200 gift card to Guildford Town Centre.
