Story so far
How this community became one of the pillars.
Surrey AI launched as BC + AI’s first move out of Vancouver — proof that the model could travel. Monthly gatherings have run since early 2025, gathering local innovators, educators, founders, and civic builders into a circle that’s small enough for real conversation and persistent enough to compound.
The chapter keeps the core question simple: how does AI serve the people actually living, working, and building in the Fraser Valley?
