Dear Surrey,
We are at a turning point. The city we love is stuck.
We have the people, the talent, and the heart of a champion city — but we need the leadership to match. You need a team that lowers the temperature at City Hall, focuses on the basics, and delivers results you can see and feel in your daily life. City Hall has operated in chaos under each of the three other parties — and just where, exactly, are we? It is time to get Surrey unstuck.
Imagine Surrey offers a future where a team of frontline workers, community advocates and professionals deliver on five clear promises to build a City of Champions that you can be proud of. Please visit Our Vision at imaginesurrey.ca to see the framework of A Contract For A Better Surrey – our 4-year commitment to you and your family.
With 32 years in Surrey Fire Services and experience as an MLA and Councillor, I believe in results over mere performance. Imagine Surrey is a team of experienced service providers dedicated to delivery, not drama. As your Mayor, I will follow three simple rules:
- Sweat the small stuff — because that’s what affects daily life.
- Imagine big and deliver big things — with discipline and financial responsibility.
- Publish our progress — so you can hold us accountable.
When fully revealed in late-September 2026, our costed platform will serve as our contract with you. In 4 years, an Imagine Surrey majority Mayor and Council will deliver A City of Champions. For now, you can see the highlights of how we’ll do it, through:
- Safe Streets
- Fast Commutes
- Smart Investments
- Lower Costs, and
- Strong Services — with no cuts to service!
I’m asking for your support to bring change that works for you and your family. On October 17, your Imagine Surrey team would be honoured to earn your vote.
Mike Starchuk
Mayoral Candidate
