During a public meeting on the evening of Nov. 9, 2026, the Safe Surrey Coalition-led City Council approved every priority and directed City of Surrey staff to begin advancing them immediately, with the first step being to provide detailed costs and implementation plans.
The mayor’s Safe Surrey Coalition supported all priorities, which served to advance the party’s civic election campaign promises, while city councillor Harry Bains — the only Surrey Connect representative and the sole city councillor outside McCallum’s party — requested separate votes on each priority.Surrey City Council has adopted Mayor Doug McCallum’s 16-point priorities agenda, pairing a four-year property tax freeze from 2027 to 2030 with plans for expanded policing and new community and recreational facilities, and working with the provincial government to achieve an additional major hospital in Surrey and an extension of SkyTrain’s Expo Line along King George Boulevard from Surrey City Centre to Newton.
