A reflection from the heart. [1/6] β€œYou fought a good fight.” β€œYou ran a principled campaign.” β€œYour support from the community was remarkable.” β€œYou were one of the hardest-working candidates.” β€œYou have a high number of votes. That’s still notable.” #SurreyBC #bcpoli

[5/6] I will no longer tell myself that the fight is not over or that I must keep fighting because Surrey is worth it. I have said those words before. This time, I owe myself the honesty to acknowledge that I am tired. #SurreyBC #bcpoli

[6/6] For now, let me rest. Allow me to heal. Let me simply be a mom and wife - not a community leader, not someone expected to be strong all the time, but a woman who has given her best and deserves a little time to breathe. #GoodbyefornowSurrey It's difficult to love you now.

Ask yourself why did the Mayor wait until the end of her term to announce "big things" and other promises that aren't in a 5-year capital project budget? Who just woke up from a 8-year snooze and noticed the residents of Cloverdale don't have an indoor aquatic facility?
When the Mayor authorized the spending of $250,000.00 to announce the big things that are happening, did she announce the cost of those β€œBig Thing” signs? Why did it take 3 Β½ years to make an announcement without letting us know what some of those big things are going to cost the Surrey Taxpayer? #SurreyBC #ImagineSurrey

If there is nothing to hide, let the public see your cell phone records. If Cllr Stutt wasn’t aware the firing of the Chief was going to be a bombshell with public backlash, what announcement could be more newsworthy? Oh right, the part about the Mayor knowing and not knowing!
Mike Starchuk today asked Surrey Connect Councillor Rob Stutt to tell voters whether he discussed Chief Norm Lipinski’s employment with Mayor Brenda Locke before the Surrey Police Board meeting... Read more: imaginesurrey.ca/news/what-d… #ImagineSurrey #SurreyBC

Some SPS Board members knew something big was going to happen days before firing the Police Chief amidst an extortion crisis and now it seems the Mayor was aware. If she wasn’t alerted by Cllr Stutt, who was chairing the meeting, then she can submit cellphone records to prove it.
In an extraordinary admission at the CKNW Surrey Mayoral debate, Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke blurted out, β€œI knew that they had an important meeting” in the lead up to the firing of Norm Lipinski. Read more: imaginesurrey.ca/news/brenda…

Yesterday Mike released our plan to protect Surrey’s farmland and make Cloverdale a world-class year-round destination. Five commitments: 1️⃣ Protect the ALR β€” stop speculative development on productive farmland 2️⃣ Up to $250K/year marketing & growth grant for the Cloverdale Rodeo 3️⃣ Restore Cloverdale Fairgrounds as a world-class year-round destination 4️⃣ Launch Buy Surrey β€” local procurement, farm directory, red-tape review 5️⃣ Fresh local produce to food banks + farmers’ markets Surrey holds 15% of Metro’s ALR and produces 22% of regional farm receipts. We don’t get this back if we lose it. Read the plan πŸ‘‡ imaginesurrey.ca/news/protec…

Mayor Locke has entered her fifth full day of hiding from the media and questions about her involvement in the termination of former Police Chief Norm Lipinski.
