Open Door is a non-denominational Christian church uniting people from diverse spiritual and cultural backgrounds into a loving, growing church family. Everyone is welcome! Open Door began with a unique vision only a few years ago, when our founders saw a need in Ridge Meadows for spiritual growth, stronger community and service for those in need. We believe that our church, at God's direction, can be this community impacting beacon in Ridge Meadows. As a non-denominational church plant with a vision for community, we're not your typical neighborhood church. We're dedicated to exploring God's love through genuine relationships as a family. This happens in the church and in the community, and so we also follow God's call and explore God's love by being engaged in our community through actions of God's graciousness and love. As Jesus charged us, they will know who you are by your love! (John 13).
BC Assessment is an independent Crown corporation that was created in 1974 in response to inequities in the property taxation system around BC. Prior to that there were 140 separate assessment organizations in the province, each with varying mandates and methodologies. The NDP government under Dave Barrett responded to the growing alarm over gross valuation inequities by striking the all party Special Legislative Committee that created BC Assessment. To this very day, Mr. Barrett is proud of its creation. Rightfully so.
