Simon Fraser University’s new School of Medicine marks a defining moment for Surrey and the province of British Columbia. This milestone investment will train the next generation of doctors and healthcare professionals to serve BC’s growing and diverse communities—advancing innovation, workforce development, and community well-being.

For Downtown Surrey, this initiative represents a transformative step toward a more vibrant, knowledge-driven city centre. The new medical school will bring new opportunities for collaboration among businesses, students, and residents while strengthening the area’s role as a hub for education, research, and innovation.

Join us for a special luncheon featuring Dr. Joy Johnson, SFU President and Vice-Chancellor, and Dr. David Price, Founding Dean of SFU’s School of Medicine. Enjoy networking, lunch, and an engaging discussion on how this bold vision is shaping the future of healthcare and our local economy.
