[edit] Town Centres
I took the liberty of creating stubs for the town centres (the Cloverdale article previously existed). --Kmsiever 16:36, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] NPOV
Changed some of the wording about Cadman's controversial vote in parliament, tried to make it a little more NPOV. Previous poster had referred to the vote within a context of "notoriety". Also added the stuff at the bottom about surrey-girls and boys. Figured something should be said about that. Don't live in surrey anymore, but grew up there, and still carry the burden of the stigma. Nonetheless still proud to be a Trojan! (West Whalley Junior Secondary mascot)--67.70.32.211 12:36, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
The "high crime rates" sentence needs to be NPOV'd! ;)
Most of this text added on 18 Mar 2004 by 24.84.149.215 is taken almost verbatim from the surrey website. It's very adjective laden and gushes a great deal about the city. Clearly this is a NPOV problem. Dostal 14:59, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Removed POV "One of the most beautiful cities in the GVRD". Most in the region and in BC as well, consider Surrey the Anus of the Lower Mainland and Walley to be the Anus of Surrey.
[edit] Demographics
In the demographics section should "Asian" be "South Asian"? I'm pretty sure it should be but I don't have the numbers. Also, if the city estimates 400 000 people why does it still say 347 000 in the template thing? TastyCakes 22:49, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
mm I now notice that the religion percentages add up to 68.7%.. Somewhere along the way some of the numbers have become screwed. Does anyone know the actual numbers? TastyCakes 22:41, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Crime
It would be good to find some facts about the crime rate in Surrey compared to all other municipalities, and cities in the GVRD. You can't argue with facts. I bet it might have the highest crime rate, although probably by a small margin...which is probably what has led to Surrey's bad reputation, and that's without even taking into account "Surrey girls". Just kidding ;-) dave 17:28, 1 Oct 2003 (UTC)
- Psh, as if! [1] Langley wins. And Surrey is even less crime filled than Vancouver itself. Take THAT! Ashley 03:08, 16 Sept 2006 (PST)

- Like he said, you can't argue with facts; however, once people have a stereotype in their heads, it takes forever to get out. --Kmsiever 14:13, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Barnston Island
I'd think with Barnston island being unincorporated, it's not actually part of Surrey as mentioned.Zedcaster 07:20, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
