THRIVE! Surrey in 2030
THRIVE! Surrey in 2030 was a full-day exploratory dialogue that invited residents from across Surrey to provide input into the City鈥檚 Sustainability Charter update.
In order to create a representative 鈥榤ini-public鈥�, potential participants were asked to register their interest and 125 were chosen based on their demographic profile. The findings from the dialogue were incorporated into Surrey鈥檚 Sustainability Charter 2.0, released in May 2016.
THRIVE! was organized by 天美mv天美鈥檚 Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue, in partnership with the City of Surrey, 天美mv天美 Public Square and 天美mv天美 Surrey. This project was made possible through a grant from the Bruce and Lis Welch Foundation.
