Dig It

Recently a soil remediation company set up shop on the vacant parking lot at the corner of Russell avenue and Johnston road in uptown White Rock.

The lot was purchased from Imperial Oil back in 2016 by the city of White Rock for park space. Recently the community was informed there were plans for a possible "highrise hub" in the uptown area of White Rock.

In that the site was once home to the REBEL GAS station the soil quality has always been in question.

IMPERIAL OIL secured the services of the the soil remediation company.

Ocean Park Attack - Too Close To Home


Police investigate overnight stabbing in South Surrey

RCMP Surrey Provincial Operations Support Unit (SPOSU) is investigating an overnight stabbing in the Ocean Park neighbourhood.

At approximately 12:30 am on May 22, 2025, a man approached White Rock RCMP members in the area of 140 Street and 16 Avenue, Surrey. The man stated that he had been attacked by unknown suspects nearby at 128 Street and 16 Avenue and was suffering from a serious, but non-life threatening injury to his hand. White Rock RCMP rendered medical aid and members of RCMP SPOSU attended. BCEHS attended the scene, treated the man’s injuries and transported him to hospital. 

SPOSU General Investigative Unit (GIU) members have taken conduct of the investigation. While the motive of the attack is still under investigation, it does not appear to be random.

Anyone with information about this incident or the identity of the suspects should contact the SPS non-emergency line at 604-599-0502 and quote file number 2025-28325 (SU) or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca.

Joke Of The Day

A group of tourists visited a crocodile farm, the owner of the place launched a daring proposal;

-Whoever dares to jump, swim to shore and survive, I will give 1 million.

Nobody dared to move, suddenly a man jumped into the water and desperately swam towards the shore while he was chased by all the crocodiles.

With great luck he arrived, taking the admiration of everyone in the place, then the owner announced;

-We have a brave winner.

After collecting their reward, the couple returned to the hotel, upon arrival, the manager told him; he was very brave to jump, then the man said;

-I didn't jump, someone pushed me!

His wife smiled ...

Moral: "Behind every successful man, there is a woman who pushes him."
