Mayor Brenda Locke
Mayor Brenda Locke was elected to her first term as Mayor of Surrey on October 15, 2022. Take a look at Mayor Locke's priorities for the city and learn about some of her past service.
Surrey is part of my family.
For 39 years, my husband and I, along with our kids and now our grandkids, have enjoyed all that Surrey has to offer, from its parks and sports fields, to recreational facilities and arts and cultural opportunities. I shop local because I know and support my neighbours and their businesses.
My advocacy for the people of Surrey is sincere and comes from strong and far-reaching roots. I have volunteered in many capacities over the decades including with the Surrey Urban Mission, an organization that works to assist those in need.
Mayor's Corner
Stalled Progress on Pattullo Bridge Replacement
Stalled progress. The provincial government has announced that the Pattullo Bridge replacement is being delayed, yet again. This vital crossing for Surrey will not be completed and open to traffic until the fall of 2025. The provincial government has mandated cities to create more housing, yet the province is falling far short on delivering the necessary infrastructure to support that growth. The Ministry of Transportation claims that “the bridge will be built to allow for potential future expansion to six lanes.” Well, the future is now, and we need a six-lane Pattullo Bridge today.
