A New Vision for Surrey - A City of Champions!
Just Imagine YOUR SURREY:
- A city hall that works for you, with less in-fighting & bad spending
- Smart investments made by a responsive council who listens to you
- A mayor from the frontlines who leads, and delivers strong services
Imagine Surrey is committed to making Surrey a City of Champions — celebrating our builders, artists, athletes, community advocates —where residents feel safe, supported, and proud to live and work.
- Public Safety
A Safer Surrey Starts with Strong, Decisive Action
Public safety is fundamental to quality of life. Imagine Surrey will take a clear, coordinated approach to policing, prevention, and rapid response — grounded in expert advice and data-driven decision-making.
Our Plan:
- Complete a well-funded police transition based on expert guidance
- Strengthen coordination between local, provincial, and federal agencies
- Deliver faster, more transparent communication with residents
- Invest in modern tools and proactive enforcement strategies.
Key Initiatives
Weekly Public Emergency Briefings
Clear, consistent updates with facts, safety guidance and accountability

Fully Resourced Task Force
A defined number of officers, clear timelines, and proper coordination with national agencies.
Shield & Signal Program
- Multilingual reporting tools
Rapid 48-hour protection response
Security grants for vulnerable businesses
Real-time data to prevent incidents - Transnational Enforcement (TEDP)
A coordinated enforcement unit to track and freeze criminal assets quickly.

- Housing Affordability & Cost of Living
Making Surrey More Affordable
Housing and the cost of living are deeply connected, requiring coordinated action to reduce home costs and lower city fees.
Our Plan:
- Streamline published permit timelines and deadlines: the city misses a deadline, you get your permit for less
- Work more effectively with our provincial and federal partners
- Support builders to bring housing to market faster
- Encourage job creation near where people live
- Lower city recreation and program fees
- Make health and wellness programs free for Seniors
- Public Transit & Traffic Congestion
Moving Surrey Forward
Surrey has faced years of underinvestment — it’s time to catch up and plan ahead for better transit, improved roads, new sidewalks and smart traffic-signalling.
Our Plan:
- Build Bus Rapid Transit that prepares for future SkyTrain expansion
- Build new roads, upgrade existing street networks and lay 50kms of new sidewalk
- Encourage all alternatives to single-vehicle use
- Design streets and neighborhood hubs for all users — safer and more inclusive
- Fiscal Responsibility
Smart Investments. Real Accountability.
