Surrey’s Top 25 under 25 Award Winners have been selected by the Surrey Board of Trade.
Winners will be celebrated at a digital reception celebrating the recipients of the 11th Annual Surrey’s Top 25 Under 25 Awards, an event that celebrates the incredible initiatives of Surrey’s youth 25 years old or younger. The 25 winners were chosen based upon their business or community achievements, leadership ability, community involvement, professional achievements, and uniqueness of their business or community projects.

This year, 30% of the winners are under the age of 20, with the youngest being 15 years of age!”
