Surrey’s École Gabrielle-Roy hosts its 3rd Winter Market on Dec. 13, showcasing local artists, students, food trucks, vendors, and festive fun.
A Warm Winter Celebration Returns
Good news, Surrey! The beloved Winter Market is coming back for its third year. It takes place at École Gabrielle-Roy, the only Francophone public school in the city. The event happens Saturday, Dec. 13, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 6887 132 Street in Newton. The atmosphere promises fun, warmth, and community spirit.
Bigger, Brighter, and More Creative
This year, the market is growing in an exciting way. Previously, 40 vendors were featured. However, this time 60 exhibitors will fill the space. Moreover, many of them are Francophone artists and artisans. Even better, several students will proudly present their own entrepreneurial projects. As a result, visitors get to see young creativity in action.
What to Expect at the Market
There is something for everyone. For instance, guests can:
- Browse original handmade gifts
- Discover local products
- Visit festive food trucks
- Take cheerful photos with Santa
Most importantly, every purchase helps the school. Vendors rent tables, and those fees support fundraising efforts. Additionally, anyone can request more details by visiting the school website, calling 604-599-6688, or emailing egr.leveefonds@gmail.com.
Why This School Matters
École Gabrielle-Roy belongs to the Conseil scolaire francophone de la Colombie-Britannique, also known as School District 93. With over 1,200 employees, it is one of the largest Francophone employers in Western Canada. The school welcomes students from kindergarten to Grade 12. Furthermore, it encourages cultural identity, language learning, and community connection.
Supporting Language and Culture
The school’s mission is clear. It offers strong French-language education. It also helps students learn English as a second language. Therefore, young people grow with confidence. They also learn to celebrate both languages while building a shared community.
Ready for winter magic? Mark your calendar, support local talent, and enjoy a joyful day at Surrey’s only Francophone school. The doors are open, and the spirit is bright!
