From a distance, it looks like the seniors gathered near the track at Bear Creek Park in Surrey are violating physical distancing rules but when the COVID-19 Compliance and Enforcement Team, or CCET, gets a little closer, it's clear that everyone is behaving themselves. The CCET, which consists of Surrey RCMP and city bylaw officers, has conducted more than 14,000 inspections like this one since March 26, when it was formed in response to the pandemic. Elenore Sturko says they've only had about 300 incidents, which works out to a compliance rate of around 98 percent. "With tennis, they're obviously social distancing because they're so far away," he said. After stopping by the park, the CCET travels to a gurdwara near 152 Street and 68 Avenue, where physical distancing measures have been in place for nearly two months.
