Bold commitments. Clear accountability.
A commitment is not a slogan. Each one is specific, with clear actions and a published accountability record any Surrey resident can check without filing a records request. This is the platform this campaign is built on, from public safety to community access. Read each one, then hold us to it.
Public Washroom Access
Surrey seniors and families deserve to use public spaces without worrying about basic access. A city-wide washroom plan that works with existing infrastructure and puts facilities where people actually gather: bus stops, parks, and community spaces.
Progress on washroom access reported publicly, including facilities brought into service and infrastructure partnerships established.
Develop and implement a city-wide public washroom access plan, prioritising seniors, families, and high-traffic public spaces.
Leverage existing city infrastructure and community partnerships to expand access without unnecessary construction costs.
Require all new public spaces, including bus stops, parks, and community hubs, to include washroom access as a baseline planning standard.
Establish clear public access standards for washrooms across all city-owned and city-partnered facilities.
Business Property Tax Plan
Surrey should be the most business-friendly city in BC. We protect commercial property owners from tax increases, reward job-creating small businesses with a direct tax reduction, and eliminate business licensing fees entirely for our full four-year term.
Commercial property tax rates and business license fee status published each budget cycle.
Zero percent property tax increase on all commercial properties for the full four-year term of Mayor and Council.
A five percent property tax reduction for small businesses that create new jobs in Surrey.
Zero business license fees for every Surrey business for the full four-year term.
Parental Consent SOGI 123
Surrey parents have a right to know what is taught in their children's classrooms. On gender ideology material in schools, parental involvement is not optional. This team will establish a Parents Action Committee to ensure classroom content is age-appropriate and guided by the families it affects.
Parents Action Committee meeting records and curriculum review decisions published openly.
Ensure no gender ideology material enters Surrey classrooms without direct parental involvement and consent.
Establish a Parents Action Committee to review classroom materials on gender and identity topics, tailoring content to be age-appropriate for each grade.
Advocate to the School District for full transparency on curriculum decisions, with parents informed and heard before any gender-related content is adopted.
Home Protection Fund
This is not about landlords against tenants. Most landlords are responsible and most tenants are good. But when things go wrong, the current system leaves property owners holding the bill with no practical recourse. This city will back a fund that reimburses valid RTB damage awards, creates real accountability, and improves a process that currently serves neither side well.
Fund disbursements and RTB resolution timelines reported publicly each year.
Establish a City-backed Home Protection Fund that reimburses Surrey property owners for damages awarded through a valid Residential Tenancy Branch judgement.
Tie all fund eligibility to verified RTB outcomes, keeping claims honest and holding bad actors accountable on both sides of the tenancy.
Advocate for faster RTB dispute resolution timelines so landlords and tenants alike spend less time and money in a process that is currently too slow to be useful.
Water Bill Plan
Surrey families are paying too much for water, and the solution has been put entirely on their shoulders. Installing a water meter should mean real savings, not a bill of thousands of dollars before you see a single cent of benefit. This city will install meters for every Surrey home at no cost to the homeowner, bringing genuine relief to household budgets at a time when affordability is a real and daily pressure.
Meters installed and average household water bill reductions reported publicly each year.
Install water meters across all Surrey residential properties, funded and coordinated by the City with no installation cost to the homeowner.
Target a 50 percent reduction in household water bills through metered usage, putting real money back in Surrey families' pockets.
End the current model that requires homeowners to self-fund installation, removing the barrier that has made water savings out of reach for most residents.
Compassionate Compliance Plan
Surrey residents facing compliance issues and stop work orders deserve a city that helps them fix the problem, not one that buries them in penalties. Punishing homeowners without giving them the tools to resolve their situation is not governance. This team stands beside cooperative residents with faster permits, direct access to city resources, and a government that finally works for the people it serves.
Compliance issues resolved through the program and average resolution timelines reported publicly each year.
Establish a Compliance Assistance Program that works directly with cooperative residents to resolve compliance issues and stop work orders before penalties escalate.
Deliver faster permit processing and direct access to city staff for homeowners actively working to bring their properties into compliance.
Shift the city's approach from enforcement-first to resolution-first, addressing the root causes of non-compliance rather than penalising residents for the symptoms of a system that was not working for them from the start.
