Brenda Locke Unveils $1.5B Surrey Plan with Tax Hikes
Hosts Vijay Saini and Vasu Kumar discuss Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke and Surrey Connect’s newly released election platform, which proposes nearly $1.5 billion in capital investments while pledging to keep property-tax increases at or below the inflation rate. The plan includes a proposed $350-million public safety campus, new aquatic centres, a Green Timbers fire hall, ice sheets, parks, library upgrades, streets, and transportation improvements. The episode examines whether the platform strikes the right balance between major city-building investments, public services, and affordability for Surrey taxpayers.
