Surrey Exceeds Housing Target by 53% in First Year

The City of Surrey has outpaced its first-year provincial housing target by 53%, granting occupancy to 6,488 new dwellings between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025. This exceeds the provincial goal of 4,233 units under B.C.’s five-year Housing Supply Act. City officials credit over 30 process improvements that have accelerated approvals and construction timelines. With more than 45,100 units rezoned and 13,100 under permit, Surrey remains on track to meet its full five-year target of 27,256 homes. Mayor Brenda Locke praised the city’s bold steps toward housing progress.

30 Plants a Week: A Healthier Habit Than Five-a-Day?

Nutritionists are shifting from the traditional “five-a-day” advice to a more diverse approach: eating 30 different plant-based foods each week. This method—backed by gut health studies like the American Gut Project—improves digestive health and boosts overall well-being. Nutritionist Edward Mather suggests simple ways to achieve this, such as adding nuts, seeds, and herbs to meals and batch cooking with varied vegetables. Experts say this diet is more beneficial and achievable than previously believed, offering Canadians a smarter, science-backed path to better health.

Cloverdale: Surrey’s Historic Heart Still Beating Strong

Cloverdale, once Surrey’s civic and commercial centre, remains a vibrant symbol of the city’s heritage. Originating as Clover Valley in the 1870s, the area flourished with the arrival of major rail lines and became home to Surrey’s first municipal hall. Though its prominence waned with mid-20th-century infrastructure shifts, Cloverdale has since revived as a cultural hub, housing key attractions like the Museum of Surrey and the Cloverdale Rodeo. Nearby Clayton, with its own historic roots, has grown into a thriving residential area, continuing the legacy of Cloverdale’s historic heart.

Not All Ultra-Processed Foods Are Bad, Say Experts

New studies reveal that not all ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are harmful—some may actually help lower the risk of type 2 diabetes. Research involving over 500,000 people found that items like whole-grain breads, cereals, plant-based snacks, and dairy-based desserts can contain fibre and nutrients that support metabolic health. However, experts caution that overall high consumption of UPFs still increases diabetes risk, especially with items like sugary drinks, sauces, and ready meals. Health professionals recommend a balanced approach, focusing on the nutritional quality of foods rather than just their level of processing.
