2025 Health & Wellness Calendar
Peace Arch Hospital Foundation's 2025 Health & Wellness Calendar
Peace Arch Hospital Foundation is excited to present the 2025 Health & Wellness Calendar! After a successful three years of the calendar, it is back and better than ever! A mandate of the Foundation is to support local programs and initiatives to assist in creating the healthiest community possible. With that in mind, we have partnered with 14 local businesses in the South Surrey/White Rock area whose services align with our vision and are featuring one each month. In the physical copy of the calendar, they have generously included a coupon so you can sample their services.
Local organizations who provide community services such as Brella Community Services Society, South Surrey White Rock Chamber of Commerce, Alexandra Neighbourhood House, and Sources will also be adding their own event and activity dates monthly to the digital version that can be found listed below. Stay tuned as we update this calendar this week!
We hope this calendar inspires some fun activities while giving you the opportunity to support our local businesses. We want to give a special thank you to the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce, whose support has been invaluable.
Healthy communities don't just happen...they are built by caring people who want to make a difference.
