About SFCSBC<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The Surrey Filipino Society of BC (SFCSBC) was conceptualized during an initial meeting on June 18, 2018 with 18 attendees in Surrey, BC. Since then, the group is nearing 300 members as new prospective members join daily.<\/p>\n

On July 9, 2018 our organization received the Certification of Incorporation under the Societies Act as a registered Non- profit society officially setting the wheels in motion for the SFCSBC. The idea was formulated from the collective desire to provide a strong pillar of support with the emphasis of providing needed assistance for newcomers so that they may integrate successfully to build more vibrant and dynamic neighborhoods within Surrey BC.<\/strong><\/p>\n
