The Surrey, BC graticule is at latitude 49, longitude -122. It encompasses the eastern half of Metro Vancouver (including all of the Tri-Cities, New Westminster, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, North Delta, Surrey and Langley; most of Burnaby; and part of North Vancouver), and extends east through the Fraser Valley past Abbotsford.
The northern half of this graticule falls largely within Golden Ears and Garibaldi Provincial Parks.
The graticule is bounded by Whistler, BC to the north, Chilliwack, BC to the east, Bellingham, WA to the south, and Vancouver, BC to the west.

Notable Dates
- Saturday, 2008-05-24: First Saturday since geohashing comic. The Vancouver graticule yields a point in the Georgia Strait. But the Surrey graticule gives coordinates just off the Trans-Canada in Langley. It looks to be right at the boundary between somebody's rear lawn and farmland. The house's address is somewhere from 24380-24399 68 Ave, Langley, BC. Probably just barely beyond the reach of transit.
