What a pleasure it was to sit down and chat with Brenda Locke and hear her perspective on Surrey, our families, our youth, and the future of the city we call home. ❤️
For me, conversations like this feel a little more personal because Surrey has been part of my story my entire life.
I was born and raised here. I went to school here, worked some of my very first jobs here, watched my family build businesses here, and grew up walking the same streets that look so different today.
I remember the “old Surrey” through the eyes of a child.
And now, all these years later, I’m experiencing the “new Surrey” through the eyes of a mother.
That really changes your perspective.
The parks we build, the schools our children attend, the safety of our neighbourhoods, the opportunities available to our youth, and the community we create today will become their childhood memories tomorrow.
One day, I hope my kids can look back at Surrey the way I do — not just as the city they grew up in, but as home. 🏡
That’s why I feel a responsibility to stay involved, listen, learn, ask questions and, most importantly, vote.
Whether you were born here like me or chose Surrey as the place to build your life and raise your family, we all have a stake in what this city becomes.
With the election coming up, take the time to learn about the people and ideas that will help shape Surrey’s next chapter, and make your own voice heard.
Because this isn’t only about today.
It’s about the Surrey we leave for the next generation. ❤️🗳️
