welcome to Surrey Gerlz Outreach ....

SurreyGerlz was started in February 2006 by Amanda Bonella and Trina Ricketts in anticipation of and as a personal tribute to International Women's Month (March).

Both women had been working for sex worker rights and issues primarily in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, but as residents of Surrey, felt they needed to reach out to their sisters in their own community. 

Dawn Royle, also a Surrey girl, joined the outreach team in the same month it was started.  When she found out about it, she enthusiastically offered to be involved.

Surrey Gerlz was born!

In the next four months, Surrey Gerlz made connections with many Surrey service organizations including the Front Room and S.A.S.  They participated in meetings with RCMP and Surrey Memorial Hospital's Chemical Dependency team.

Everything fell into place so easily and everyone was so supportive that Surrey Gerlz seemed destined to happen.
