Staying Connected While Safely Apart.
White Rock is a friendly, active community that welcomes people of all ages and abilities to enjoy all our City by the Sea has to offer - and right now we are doing a lot more to connect online. To keep our employees and our community safe and healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic many of our civic facilities have limited in-person hours. To stay connected, scan below for a selection of online activities and resources.
While we stay physically apart for now, it’s important that we stay in touch. Here are some things to do in White Rock - let's stay connected!
