Im starting to plan a trip to Whiterock for summer of 2027. (I know that its a year away but I like to plan :)) I have 3 boys who will be 8, 6, and 4 next summer. We live in Saskatoon and plan to road trip, and the point of going to Whiterock is to show the ocean to my boys. I know it is close to Vancouver as well and so we do plan to visit Vancouver during our time there. Hopefully do a 10 day road trip and stay 3 nights at white rock. Plan to hotel it as well so any recommendations to where to stay would help as well.

I am just looking to see if anyone knows of any gems that I should plan to do or see with my family in or around Whiterock? Beaches to check out the ocean? Thanks!

Hey WR friends! My family member doesn't drive and has been looking for ways to give back and loves dogs! They are very interested in volunteering with a rescue or shelter. It doesn't seem WR itself has one. Any suggestions? Or maybe connecting him with a senior who needs their dog walked? Are there services that connect seniors with volunteers?

Responsible and lovely just can't have animals in their apartment.

WR can barely pull off Canada Day fireworks, but some extended private party fireworks at 11pm on a random Tuesday? Checkmark.

UPDATE: correction...Aug 18

This is exactly the kind of thing I'm going to do when I'm in my 90s, frankly. I wish I had a dog to bring by!

Did anyone else head down to the waterfront for the Wings Over White Rock show today? The beach was absolutely packed, but what an incredible send-off. The Snowbirds put on a full 45-minute display over Semiahmoo Bay, and the formations were spectacular.

​It's bittersweet knowing this is the last time they'll perform here until the early 2030s. They're retiring the classic CT-114 Tutors after this season and taking a sabbatical to transition to the new Pilatus PC21s. Watching them today felt like witnessing a real piece of Canadian aviation history. It was also great to see everyone out supporting the CH.I.L.D. Foundation.

​If anyone managed to get some good videos of the flybys, drop them below!

Someone asked in another thread for me to post my pics here. It was a good show!

I’ll be in White Rock for 10 hours. Anything I should do? Or any Canadian goodies I should bring back to the states?

Does anybody have any recommendations for a printshop? In White Rock/South Surrey?

Hey everyone, please pls share your thoughts and opinions!!!

if you’ve had jaw surgery with Dr. Murray Fain, I’d really appreciate hearing your honest thoughts on the process and results.

Hi, as title says, my Langley and White Rock adult step-children want me to show them how to play this Sunday. Obv I don't want to go to either of Centennial or South Surrey pickleball parks during busy open play times for this exercise. Question for local players: do I need to reserve a court at Centennial or is there a time on Sunday when open courts are pretty likely? Thanks in advance!

Does anybody have any recommendations for a trustworthy import auto repair shop that can do suspension work in White Rock/South Surrey? I have been burnt at a couple of shops locally and I’m looking for a new shop that I can trust to do good work for a reasonable price.
Thanks

I think Five Corners should be turned into a 3-way stop, or at least a stop sign added where Pacific Ave turns into Johnston Rd.

A lot of people seem to be confused that they must yield to oncoming traffic when turning left onto Buena Vista from Pacific. I have witnessed an awful lot of near-misses at this intersection. Any thoughts?

Does anyone know if there's any place/group I can join and play some soccer for fun?

I'm just looking for a group that plays soccer for fun, nothing competitive, I haven't played in a few years and I just want to find a new group.

I'm in my mid 30s and not in great shape, I just want to have fun and meet new people

Hi I'm looking for a good recommendation for a dentist. Some details for relevancy...

I'm in my early 50s, and I think I basically need to get new teeth, so it's a big, expensive job. (I have British teeth which means they spread apart over time.) I don't have coverage, so price is something I'm thinking about, but really, my first priority is to find someone who is really good at replacing teeth, so the price is secondary. I'm anxious about having problems with the new teeth and needing multiple procedures, which is why I would super appreciate any advice from people who have had good work done locally.

Thank you

Apparently RCMP arrested Dhanda as requested by the FBI, pending extradition charges.

Dude lives in WR on Cliff Ave, anyone hear or see this raid happen??

Just askin'. If you know, you know.

Traffic was absolutely crazy backed up and people were taking the back roads/local only roads.

Anyone know why? Friday night 11pm. The streets have become unsafe so any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks.

Homeless guys using power tools in a residential area at 2:00 am. There was a break-in on an electrician’s work van the night before. The mayor should move the injection site we weren’t consulted about outside her house and see how she likes it. Things like this have become a nightly occurrence now.

I can see them from my place in White Rock. I’m sure others can see them. They’re here every night.
