B.C. municipal election 2022: Surrey results

In what was a tight race, residents of Surrey have voted for their next mayor in the 2022 B.C. municipal election.

Global News is projecting Brenda Locke will be the new mayor of Surrey.

Doug McCallum defeated Surrey First councillor Tom Gill and Bruce Hayne for the mayor’s seat in 2018, and was running again, albeit amid controversy.

McCallum has been charged with public mischief over claims he made about being struck by a car in the parking lot of a Save-On-Foods on Sept. 4, 2021.

He has accused a woman named Debi Johnstone of running over his foot as she was collecting signatures against the city’s transition to a municipal police force — one of McCallum’s main campaign promises in 2018. Johnstone denies any wrongdoing.

McCallum’s five-day trial is set to begin Oct. 31. His legal bills continue to be paid by Surrey taxpayers.

He has repeatedly denied all allegations.

Joining Locke on council, Global News projects will be Linda Annis, Harry Bains, Mike Bose, Gordon G Hepner, Rob Stutt, Pardeep K Kooner, Doug Elford and Mandeep Nagra.
