Even high winds – which cause choppy waters – can't keep locals and tourists alike from White Rock beach.

Beach, pier remain tourist draws To those looking to escape the everyday hustle and bustle of city living, White Rock has much to offer, from a memorable culinary experience, an unbeatable glistening sunset from the pier, or just a day of winding down on the beach.

Tourism Surrey executive director Cathy James says White Rock has the “whole package.”

Tourism Surrey has been contracted by the City of White Rock to promote Lower Mainland area.

“We can tell from the website stats the city as a travel destination since that most of them are from Surrey, 2016. In that time, Tourism Surrey Langley, White Rock, Richmond, created the brand Explore White Ladner area. That is the primary Rock. market that we’ve focused on,” she Along with the rebranding came a said. new website, videos and destination According to statistics from the map.

Explore White Rock website, a James said the majority of visitors lot of visitors are interested in, coming to White Rock are from the 6 Peace Arch News • DISCOVER THE PENINSULA • 2018 6 Peace Arch News • DISCOVER THE PENINSULA • 2018

unsurprisingly, the promenade and pier.

“Most people are coming down for leisure activities and tied to that are festivals and events, as well as the culinary or dining options,” she said.

West Beach is undergoing renovations, of sorts. Major projects underway are the Memorial Park upgrades, situated at the foot of the pier, and a waterfront parkade at the corner of Vidal Street and Victoria Avenue.

“Parking is always a hot topic and a lot of residents, as well as visitors, complain about the parking. I think the new washroom facilities will be great and I think the new Memorial Park will give a different vibe and it’s a great place to hold additional events and festivals,” James said.

Stroll by the stories that define the city History of White Rock now displayed on landmark pier

White Rock Museum & Archives, located in the historic White Rock Train Station on Marine Drive, houses photos, writings and artifacts of the past, in collections that tell stories of the natural history, First Nation history, railway history and settlement history of the seaside city.

Those stories, preserved by the White Rock Museum and Archives Society since 1983, can also be found on several plaques that line the city’s landmark pier that’s paced by hundreds, if not thousands, of residents and visitors every day.

Its collection of historical items began as a result of a

White Rock Museum and Archives photo

1967 centennial project to build a museum.

In 2011, officials celebrated the revitalization and renovation of the building – a more than $1.4 million project that maximized exhibition, gallery and programming areas. The

work also returned the historic former Great Northern Railway station to its original 1913 configuration, including a glassed-in breezeway – which serves as the gift shop area, while linking Marine Drive and the waterfront.

The museum cycles new exhibits on a quitefrequent basis. The latest to be presented, Irene’s Place: An Inquiry into Legacy and Change in White Rock, follows the story of Irene Maccaud, who lived in White Rock from 1950 until her death in 1978.

She tried numerous ways to leave behind a lasting legacy, and while some of her antics seem far-fetched, or even insane, the exhibit asks visitors to draw their own conclusions of her methods.

Irene’s Place, which opened May 18, will continue until Oct. 8.

Sports action keeps fans busy For sports fans in South Surrey, White Rock and Cloverdale, there’s never a shortage of activities to keep you occupied, and this year is no exception, with everything from softball to cycling to junior hockey on the calendar.

The summer is especially busy, and headlined by two premier events – the two-day Tour de White Rock cycling series, and the Canada Cup softball tournament, both of which are scheduled, as always, for July.

The Tour de White Rock – which is part of the multi-race BC Superweek Cycling Series – makes its annual stop here July 14-15, with the criterium hitting the roads of uptown White Rock on Day 1, followed the next morning by the road race.

In the criterium, cyclists pedal around a short, one-kilometre course that includes Johnston Road, Five

The criterium races are among the most exciting of the weekend, as riders reach speeds up to 70 km/h, and are all in close proximity to one another.

The Saturday action begins at 2:30

p.m. with the opening of the Family Fun Zone, kids’ bike parade and youth bike race, and the criterium races begin at 4 p.m.

The Tour de White Rock's road race, on Sunday morning, features a 130km distance for the men's event and an 80-km distance for the women's

For more on the Tour de White Rock, visit www.tourdewhiterock.ca The Canada Cup, meanwhile, will be staged July 13-22, with games set for three parks – Softball City, Sunnyside Park and Cloverdale Athletic Park.

The Canada Cup originally ran from 1993 until 2010, at which point it gave way to the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championships, which were similar but drew fewer top-end international teams and instead focused more on youth squads.

The current incarnation of the Canada Cup is in its second year after being reborn following the 2016 Women’s World Softball Championships, held in Surrey.

Lawnbowling is also a big draw among many on the Peninsula, with two clubs – the White Rock Lawn Bowling Club (1079 Dolphin St.) and the Mann Park Lawn Bowling Club (14560 North Bluff Rd.) – hosting members and guests for daily games, tournaments and other events throughout the summer months.

And if you'd rather play a sport than watch, the South Surrey Recreation Centre is a buzz of activity, while the Kent Street Activity Centre offers plenty of options for seniors, including

snooker, carpet bowling and more.

Visit www.whiterockcity.ca/register for more information.

When summer turns to fall, the White Rock-South Surrey Titans football association hits the field at South Surrey Athletic Park, while Earl Marriott and Lord Tweedsmuir secondaries also field teams at their respective schools.

Rugby is also one of the most popular sports on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, with the local Bayside Sharks Rugby Club fielding various teams, from youngsters (mini rugby) to both men's and women's teams.

The Semiahmoo Old Boys – for men's players 38-and-above – are also a big part of the local rugby scene, and like their Bayside colleagues, play out of South Surrey Athletic Park beginning each fall.

At local hockey rinks – South Surrey

Arena (2199 148 St.), Centennial Arena (14600 North Bluff Rd.) and Cloverdale Arena (6090 176 St.) – minor-hockey players will lace up their skates from the fall until next spring.

The BC Hockey League's Surrey Eagles are a major draw at South Surrey Arena, and are coming off their first playoff appearance in a number of years; the team advanced to the second round this past season.

For more on the Eagles, visit www. surreyeagles.ca or, for information on the BCHL, visit www.bchl.ca Elsewhere on the hockey front, the junior 'B' White Rock Whalers are set for their inaugural season this fall.

The team – which will play in the Pacific Junior Hockey League – will play out of White Rock's Centennial Arena, and is owned by longtime Semiahmoo Peninsula businessman Ronnie Paterson.

An important part of our history The Semiahmoo Peninsula is on the unceded territory of the Semiahmoo First Nation.

Offices of the nation are located on its 312-acre reserve, situated on Beach Road, on waterfront land sandwiched between White Rock, Surrey and the Peace Arch border.

Led by Chief Harley Chappell – elected in December 2016, Chappell replaced Willard Cook, who served for 20 years – and an elected two-member council, the nation has a storied history, and is “celebrating 10,000 years of survival and resilience.”

The nation is ingrained in the community, sharing its culture, its history and the many talents of its people, year-round.

Totem Plaza is just one representation of this. Situated on White Rock’s East Beach, it features a pair of totem poles carved by well-

The poles stand as “symbols of welcome, cultural understanding and friendship.” The plaza is dedicated to the memory of Grand Chief Bernard Charles, who

led the SFN from 1963-1996.

Other well-known artists among the SFN’s 99 registered members include Roxanne Charles – who is also one of the band councillors – and brothers Leslie and Leonard Wells. Leslie helped carve the Salish house post and Haida totem pole that stand in Totem Plaza.

Arts abound on the Peninsula The Semiahmoo Peninsula has a long history – stretching back more than 100 years to the pioneer era – of encouraging home-grown arts and entertainment, and providing venues for touring shows of interest.

Both the City of White Rock and the City of Surrey support cultural development in the area – with ample opportunities to get involved, either as a spectator or a participant.

City of White Rock initiatives include a pop-up arts space at Central Plaza and multicultural events in the uptown area, including ongoing art shows at the White Rock Community Centre at Miramar Village (15154 Russell Ave.) and – at the waterfront – the TD Concerts at the Pier series in July and August, the White Rock Sea Festival in August, the Moon Festival in September and the Diwali Multicultural Integration Festival in October.

Semiahmoo Arts (www.semiahmooarts.com) has an important role as an umbrella organization with a physical presence in both cities – including a gallery and multi-purpose space, pottery studio and a head office at the recently expanded South Surrey Recreation and Arts Centre, as well as presenting the Get Reel film series at the White Rock Community Centre and literary events at the Pelican Rouge Café.

FVGSS – Musical Theatre

Beach House Theatre

Formerly known as the Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society, the society has historically drawn many of its staunchest members from South Surrey and White Rock. In addition to smaller musical-theatre events and fundraisers, the company usually stages two main productions a year, a full-scale musical in the spring – this year’s version of Iolanthe was staged at New Westminster’s Anvil Centre – and a Christmas pantomime in early December at Surrey Arts Centre.

For information, visit www.fvgss.org

The Beach House Theatre Society presents summer theatre annually in a state-of-the-art tent stage at Blackie Spit on Crescent Beach.

The community-based group's fifth season will feature the Neil Simon farce Rumors, Aug. 14-19, and the children and family-oriented Miss Electricity, by Kathryn Walat (daytime performances Aug. 15-19).

Visit www.beachhousetheatre.org

White Rock Players Club

Peninsula Productions

The White Rock Players Club – with a rich history dating back to the early 1940s – is owner and resident company of White Rock's community theatre, the Coast Capital Playhouse.

In addition to its celebrated annual Christmas pantomime, the club – whose theatre is at 1532 Johnston Rd. – presents four plays each year and offers a venue for rentals, including concerts and productions by other companies.

For more information, visit www. whiterockplayers.ca

Geoff Giffin and Wendy Bollard's Peninsula Productions, based at the Semiahmoo Arts space in Centennial Park (14600 North Bluff Rd.), continues to bring "extraordinary performances" to the Semiahmoo Peninsula, including nationally and internationally-known musical acts as well as imaginative productions geared for children, while regular staged play readings and occasional full productions help set a new benchmark for community theatre.

Visit www.peninsulaproductions.org

Concerts at the Pier Musical excitement returns to the waterfront and uptown area this July and August – despite a shift to Totem Park in East Beach during reconstruction of Memorial Park – as the city and the White Rock BIA present TD Concerts at the Pier.

For its fourth year, the series offers six Saturday evening free concerts (four at the waterfront and two at Five Corners) with name headliners from the B.C. and Canadian music scene, starting July 5 (7-10 p.m.) with Honeymoon Suite and concluding Aug. 18 with the Northern Pikes.

A city in transition White Rock skyline redesigned

Nowhere is the changing face of White Rock more visible than in the uptown area, where major construction projects are underway – with more waiting in the wings.

Work will continue this summer on both the 15 and 16-storey towers of the second phase of Bosa’s Miramar Village (at Johnston Road and Thrift Avenue) and the 23-storey Oceana PARC retirement residence (in the 1500-block area between Johnston Road and George Street).

Meanwhile the City of White Rock has awarded a contract for reconstruction of the sidewalk between North Bluff Road (16 Avenue) and Russell Avenue, to improve drainage, replace uneven paving stones and plant new trees using silva-cell technology to ensure longer tree life and avoid

disruptive root systems (work is expected to be completed by fall). The latter work is part of the Johnston Road Gateway plan, for which council has also earmarked $1 million for construction of a decorative archway at the Johnston Road and North Bluff Road intersection to welcome visitors to the city.

Council has also approved two multi-storey buildings for lower Johnston Road (south of Thrift Avenue), plus a 14-storey tower

by Marcon adjacent to the existing Saltaire development (at Thrift Avenue and Johnston Road), while an application has been received for a 27-storey highrise at the site of Royal Place mall (also at the Johnston Road and North Bluff Road intersection).

Sailing – both competitive or recreational – has long been popular on the Peninsula, both in White Rock and Crescent Beach.

Make waves out on the water Sailing co-ops give people chance to test their boating skills

Want to get out onto the water this summer, but don’t have thousands of dollars to purchase, moor and maintain your own boat?

Well, a pair of Semiahmoo Peninsula yacht co-op programs make it easy for you to test the waters at a fraction of the cost.

Both the White Rock-based Lower Mainland Yacht Co-op and the Surrey Sailing Club’s co-op program, based out of Crescent Beach, offer communal sailboats for member use.

“There’s every configuration you can imagine.”

Both clubs require membership dues – White Rock is $700 per year, plus a one-time initiation fee, while Surrey’s co-op membership is $150 annually.

As a member of the LMYC, members can hone their skills on their own, and join in on long weekend “Club Cruises” to various Gulf Island locales to visit “some of B.C.’s most beautiful spots.”
