‘Tucked away’ King George Corridor Amy Reid

SURREY — Mandeep Dhaliwal lives in a “tucked away” South Surrey neighbourhood called King George Corridor. His home is sandwiched between Highway 99 and King George Boulevard at about 34th
Avenue. “We’re between that. Then you have the farm belt. It’s like this little section,” Dhaliwal said. While some might expect it to be noisy being located between two major arteries, he said it’s not, because greenbelts provide a buffer, as well as a serene backdrop. “We’re tucked away.” And because the neighbourhood is somewhat hidden, he said there is very little through traffic. When he pulls off the highway and onto his street, he said he’s hit with a sense of calmness. He didn’t feel that same sense of calm in Newton, where he spent a large part of his life. He saw Newton change over the last 10 or 15 years, and said he made the move south to raise his children in a better environment. see AREA’S DIVERSITY › page 3
Hundreds of people, including at least two hockey teams in full uniform, honoured the memory of slain hockey mom Julie Paskall with a candlelight vigil on Saturday night at Holland Park. The ceremony also featured an emotional speech from Julie’s husband, Al. For more photos and a video from the vigil, scan this page with your Layar app. See story on page 6. (Photo: GORD GOBLE)
