Who We Are
The Fleetwood Community Association (FCA) was formed in 1923 to deal with community business and provide recreation for its members.
The original Fleetwood Community Hall was built in the 1930’s and quickly became the focal point of social activity for the community. The association moved its office to the Fleetwood Community Centre when it opened in 1995.
What We Do
The FCA is committed to making positive change in the community and the City of Surrey by:
- ensuring that the public plays an active role in the consultation and decision-making processes that shape our community now . . . and in the future
- encouraging consultation with stakeholders to find practical, sustainable solutions to local and city-wide issues including infrastructure, transportation and social planning strategies
- working with residents, businesses , developers and all levels of government to balance growth with policies and enforceable bylaws to preserve eco-systems & green space
- developing and preserving Fleetwood’s uniqueness, history and character
