One of Metro Vancouver’s newest floral celebrations is wrapping up its inaugural season this weekend, and there’s still time to enjoy the natural beauty.

The first annual Surrey Sunflower Festival, hosted by Generis Cares, is welcoming guests until Sunday, September 3.

The event features a sunflower maze, photo ops, and more, with all net proceeds from the fest benefitting the BC Cancer Foundation.

“Weā€™re proud to partner with the BC Cancer Foundation to produce the Sunflower Festival here in Surrey as a way to remind families that we all have a part to play in helping beat cancer,” explained Akash Villing, Principal, Genaris Properties and Division Head of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at BC Cancer Fraser Valley, in a release.

Surrey-based Genaris Properties has pledged $1.25 million to the BC Cancer Foundation as part of a multi-year commitment to support initiatives in the city, including a focus on the expansion and development of the agency in the city.
