Led by Mayoral candidate Doug McCallum, who has proudly served the City of Surrey as Mayor for 13 years, the Safe Surrey Coalition is a strong team of people with diverse political affiliations and a variety of professional backgrounds.
We believe that it's important to have many different perspectives and opinions on council. This will result in better decisions for the City of Surrey.
“The Safe Surrey Coalition is exactly what its name says. Independents, coming together around one core platform, to achieve results for Surrey. Experienced councillors, community builders, a small business owner, a journalist who spent 15 years holding city hall accountable, and the next generation of Surrey leadership. Every community in this city will see itself in this coalition.” — Doug McCallum
About Doug McCallum
Doug McCallum served as Mayor of Surrey from 2018 to 2022, a period of the most significant infrastructure investment in the city's history. He secured $4 billion in provincial and federal funding to deliver SkyTrain to Clayton Heights in record time, brought a UBC campus to Surrey, built Bear Creek Stadium and the 84th Avenue Road Connector, and established the Surrey Police Service, all while keeping property taxes at historic lows. He is running in the 2026 municipal election as leader of the Safe Surrey Coalition. His campaign slogan: Doug Gets It Done.
Our Promise
“Every one of these promises comes down to the same idea. Surrey should work for the people who live here. Affordable food. Honest books. Safer streets. Lower taxes. A city that builds. I delivered before and I will deliver again. Doug Gets It Done.”
— Doug McCallum
