The Creative Economy

The Surrey Board of Trade and the City of Surrey are pleased to announce a new partnership, focused on recognizing the value of the cultural industry in Surrey.  At the heart of this vision is a simple question: What can arts and culture do for the economy, and what can business do for arts and culture?
 
Through this event, the Surrey Board of Trade and the City of Surrey hope to foster, enhance, and expand the development of the rich human, cultural, and natural resources of the community resulting in a more competitive economy and one of the nation’s most livable communities.
