Today is the 100th anniversary of the RCMP. Surrey’s RCMP Appreciation Day - Feb 1
If you've read my previous posts you will find this sadly, amusing!
SURREY (NEWS 1130) – The mayor of Surrey’s moves to get rid of the RCMP and bring in a municipal police force took an odd turn at Monday night’s city council meeting.
About halfway through the proceedings, he had to make a proclamation regarding the centennial anniversary of the RCMP, reading a lengthy history of the force in Canada and B.C.
“Therefore it be resolved that I, Doug McCallum, hereby declare February 1, 2020 as Royal Canadian Mounted Police Appreciation Day in the City of Surrey.”

Yesterday we had a storm warning. The rain pelted down all day. When I went to pick up Lexie from school in Cloverdale, I noticed the fields were all flooded. There is a ditch on Highway 10 that was nearly overflowing. At 5:30, they were reporting from the strip mall I frequent in Cloverdale. Not only was the road flooded, the sewers were overflowing! Needless to say, we stayed in.
I took a picture of Highway 10 & 177B to show Richard who is in sunny California! |
