Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum’s 15 Campaign Promises Set for Council Approval

Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum’s campaign promises could receive the green light at this evening’s council meeting, the first regular meeting of the newly elected council.

McCallum’s 15-point agenda includes several major proposals, including the controversial decision to separate the City of Surrey from Metro Vancouver while retaining its existing services. Other key commitments include equipping the Surrey Police Service with a fleet of helicopters and drones within the next three months and freezing property taxes for the next four years.

However, political experts believe that while McCallum has the majority support needed to pass the proposals, implementing all the promises at once without proper scrutiny could pose significant challenges.

They point out that freezing property taxes while making major purchases, such as helicopters and drones, would require the city to find savings elsewhere in its budget.
