Our Mission

We are a volunteer‑driven, local charity created in 1993 to support community safety programs across the Semiahmoo Peninsula. Working alongside White Rock RCMP Community Policing volunteers and other partners, we fund practical, on‑the‑ground initiatives that make people safer at home, on the road and around the water.

In 2016–2017 we broadened our focus beyond pedestrian and driver safety to include a wider range of safety‑oriented organizations and prevention programs. Today our support includes RCMP Community Policing volunteer programs like Speed Watch, Block Watch and Fraud Smart, as well as marine rescue, firefighter‑led community initiatives, Dry Grad celebrations, the Cliff Annable Scholarship, and school safety projects.

Dianna's goal is to spread awareness of all the important community programs and safety initiatives the Semiahmoo Community Safety Society has been fundraising for since 1993.

One program in particular that she's proud of is "Savvy Seniors". These free workshops provide personal safety tips and educate our local seniors of the latest/fraud/scams targeting them.

Dianna joined the Society as a way to give back to the community in which she was born, raised and currently resides.

Professionally, Dianna is a local Realtor with RE/MAX Colonial Pacific Realty.
