Mayor Brenda Locke and the Surrey Connect team supported the hiring of 80 additional firefighters over our term to protect Surrey’s growing community. Your safety shouldn’t wait. Keeping our community safe means being prepared. That’s what delivering for Surrey looks like.

Proud to support Toyota Canada as it broke ground on its new Parts Distribution Centre in Surrey. Opening in 2028, the facility will improve parts delivery across B.C. and Western Canada.

My heart goes out to the Tumbler Ridge community as they face this devastating tragedy. Thinking of the victims, their loved ones, and the first responders working through such a difficult time.

New - Surrey mayor is calling on the minister of public safety to appoint a national extortion commissioner to tackle extortion crisis, saying the role should examine gaps in Canada’s criminal, immigration, and citizenship systems. #cdnpoli ‘Our laws are simply too weak. Canadian law-enforcement tools are not enough to protect the public from the scale of extortion & violence we’re experiencing,’ the mayor says.

Today, we officially opened the Cloverdale Sport & Ice Complex! It's an amazing addition to our City and I'm proud of our team for bringing this project back after the previous admin shelved it. Cloverdale has long deserved this facility. South Surrey... Stay tuned!
