I can't post the link here as it is considered Canadian advertising by META. You can access it by going to CBC Listen, then searching for her show "On the Coast with Gloria Macarenko" under the caption "On Demand". The opening salvo says "Surrey looking for people with connections to city's pioneers.

The Surrey Historical Society is looking for stories about pioneers who lived on the roads in Surrey before the names changed to numbers in 1957. This map (hope you can enlarge it enough to read it) was produced in 1938, showing the roads at that time. If you can't email Evelyn at [email protected] and I will send it to you via email
