Brenda Locke and Surrey Connect Congratulate Premier-Elect Lorne Doerksen and BC Conservatives on their Decisive Election Victory
SURREY, BC — October 25, 2026 — Surrey Connect congratulates Premier-Elect Lorne Doerkson and the BC Conservatives on their decisive victory in the 2026 provincial election.
The result matters to Surrey because the provincial government plays an important role in supporting local communities, funding infrastructure and ensuring that regional institutions are accountable to the people they serve. British Columbians have delivered a clear mandate for leadership focused on results, responsible spending and stronger accountability.
Surrey Connect is calling for a more fair and accountable approach to regional spending and governance.
The Conservative commitment to ensuring that Metro Vancouver be restructured to be focused on its core responsibilities and deliver only essential services effectively and respects the financial pressures facing residents and businesses.
Surrey is one of the fastest-growing communities in the province, and its residents need infrastructure, services and regional decision-making that keep pace with that growth equitably.
Surrey Connect has stood for a regional governance that is transparent, streamlined and focused on service delivery—not unnecessary bureaucracy or expanding mandates.
We look forward to the new provincial government committed to getting our fiscal house in order and building the economy for Surrey and all British Columbians.
Congratulations once again to Premier-Elect Doerkson and the BC Conservatives on their resounding election victory. Surrey Connect wishes them every success as they begin the important work ahead for British Columbia.
