F
​rom the preface to the report:

At SurreyCares, we believe that greater awareness is the
​ ​
first step toward improving connections and relationships
​ ​
in our community. These links are the foundation of every
​ ​
cohesive, inclusive community, small or large.
​ ​
This report aims to help residents of Surrey better understand
​ ​
the lived experience of our Aboriginal neighbours. It opens
​ ​
the door to more dialogue and learning. And it provides
​ ​
local planners, service providers, policy-makers, funders,
​ ​
fund holders, and philanthropists with information and
​ ​
insights. We trust this knowledge will translate into policies,
​ ​
programs, and grants addressing the needs expressed by
​ ​
First Peoples.
