Surrey Snapshot

Submitted by Mark Yuen on October 27, 2008 - 2:37pm.

Surrey mayor Dianne Watts's win over Doug McCallum in 2005 didn't just change the name on the mayor's office, it remade Surrey's political landscape. McCallum's right-wing Surrey Electors Team, which dominated City Hall for a decade, no longer exists. Fractious council meetings have been replaced by what could pass for a unity government.
