A 60-year-old White Rock man, Darren Robert Sorensen, has been sentenced to three years in prison and placed on the national sex offender registry for 20 years after being found guilty of sexually assaulting a woman in 2022. The B.C. Supreme Court ruled that Sorensen exploited the victim, who considered him a trusted family friend, while she was intoxicated and vulnerable in her own home. Despite his clean record and low risk of reoffending, the court noted Sorensen showed limited remorse and imposed additional conditions, including a DNA order, weapons ban, and no-contact order.

A Glaucous-winged gull rescued and rehabilitated by the Wildlife Rescue Association of B.C. in 2000 has been spotted twice in White Rock in 2024. First seen in February and recaptured by Environment and Climate Change Canada researchers, the gull was fitted with new identification bands. Its second sighting on September 16 confirms decades-long survival in the wild. The Salish Sea Gull Project, part of a larger marine bird monitoring initiative, tracks such sightings to support conservation and ecosystem health. The public is encouraged to report banded gull sightings to aid research.

The White Rock Rotary Book Sale, a 42-year community tradition, returns August 22 at Centennial Park with more than 40,000 books on offer. However, organizers warn this may be the final edition.

Without the space, the twice-annual fundraiser—which supports local charities—faces an uncertain future. Petitions are being circulated to urge the city to grant Rotary a new lease.
