We’re proud and grateful to share that Boundary Bay Veterinary Specialty Hospital has been named the winner of the 2026 Surrey & White Rock Business Excellence Award in the Surrey Business Excellence – 41+ Employees category.
Presented by the Surrey & White Rock Board of Trade at its annual Business Excellence Awards on November 5, the award recognizes businesses that contribute to the strength and success of the local economy and community.
For our founders, Dr. Geoffrey Hutchinson and Dr. Sarah Charney, and our entire Boundary Bay team, this recognition is a tremendous honour — and an opportunity to thank the many people and organizations who have helped us grow.
Proud to Be Part of the Surrey Community
Since opening in 2009, Boundary Bay has grown into an independent, clinician-owned veterinary specialty, emergency and critical care hospital, providing advanced veterinary medicine and 24/7 emergency care to pets and their families.
Our growth and success have been shaped in no small part by the community around us.
When Boundary Bay outgrew its original Langley location, the City of Surrey welcomed us and supported our vision for a larger, purpose-built veterinary hospital. We are grateful for the City’s support throughout the planning and building process, and proud to call Surrey home.
Today, we welcome patients and their families from across British Columbia and northern Washington, many referred to us by their trusted family veterinarians. These relationships are built on a shared commitment to providing pets with the care they need, often during some of the most difficult moments their families face.
We’re also proud to contribute to Surrey’s economy by creating a wide range of employment opportunities, supporting local jobs and attracting highly skilled veterinary professionals from across Canada and around the world.
Being part of this community means a great deal to us, and we’re grateful for the trust and support that have allowed Boundary Bay to grow.
Our People Make Boundary Bay Special
While we’re proud of how Boundary Bay has grown and the contribution we make to our community, it’s our people who make everything we do possible.
Behind the specialized equipment, advanced medicine and round-the-clock care is an extraordinary team of people.
Providing emergency and critical care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year takes an incredible commitment. From our specialists, emergency veterinarians and criticalists to our technicians, veterinary assistants, client service teams, management and administrative staff, every person plays an important role in caring for our patients and supporting their families.
As Dr. Hutchinson shared in his acceptance speech:
“What really makes Boundary Bay special is our people. Providing emergency and critical care 24/7 takes an extraordinary team. Their expertise, dedication, and care are what make everything we do possible.”
This award is a reflection of that dedication, and we couldn’t be prouder of our team.
A Heartfelt Thank You
Thank you to the Surrey & White Rock Board of Trade for this honour, and congratulations to all the other finalists and award recipients.
We’re grateful to our staff, our referring family veterinarians, and the clients who trust us with the care of their beloved pets. Each has played an important part in Boundary Bay’s journey and in what we’ve built together.
We’re honoured to receive this recognition and grateful to be part of such a wonderful community.
