The mayor said the double shooting at Kap's Cafe was more than just a crime.

Cameras at more than 600 intersections across the city are being upgraded to high-resolution images following the Kap's Cafe shooting in Surrey.

Mayor Brenda Locke recently said that all footage is now being recorded in high resolution to help police investigate and there are plans to install additional cameras in key locations.

The mayor said the double shooting at Kap's Cafe was more than just a crime. She said the Surrey Police Service is doing everything it can to deal with incidents in the city, but she has reached out to the province’s Community Safety Minister Terry Yung, Public Safety Minister Nina Krieger and Premier David Eby to request additional resources.

It is noteworthy that earlier in June, Mayor Locke had written a letter to the federal government to declare the Lawrence Bishnoi gang a terrorist organization. In July, he had demanded that social media platforms ban criminal content.

Canada’s population declines slightly in first quarter of 2026 as non-permanent resident numbers fall

Canada’s population declined slightly during the first three months of 2026, according to new estimates released by Statistics Canada.
