SURREY, BC — Mike Starchuk and the Imagine Surrey team today released “Imagine Thanksgiving,” a free cookbook for Surrey families heading into the long weekend and the final week of the civic election.

It has real recipes, from the turkey to the pumpkin pie, plus a kitchen fire safety page from Mike’s years as a firefighter, games for the kids, a guide to talking about the election without a family feud, and everything you need to vote on October 17.

“Thanksgiving is when Surrey families sit down and talk about what matters,” said Mike Starchuk, Imagine Surrey’s candidate for mayor. “Enjoy the meal, have the conversation, then go vote.”
