Published 2:24 pm Monday, October 5, 2026<\/p>\n
IAN DE HOOG, NewSurrey+<\/p>\n
An artist, instructor, software developer and Surrey resident running for council to help build stronger, safer and more connected neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n
TOP 3 PRIORITIES<\/p>\n
\u2022 Make neighbourhoods safer, cleaner and more connected<\/p>\n
\u2022 Responsible growth that keeps infrastructure and services sustainable<\/p>\n
\u2022 Create vibrant public spaces and support local arts and culture<\/p>\n
EXPAND ON ONE PRIORITY<\/p>\n
Make neighbourhoods safer, cleaner and more connected: I would focus on practical improvements residents experience every day: better-maintained streets and public spaces, traffic calming where it is needed, safer routes to schools, and stronger connections for walking, cycling and transit. I would listen to residents about local priorities, use evidence to guide decisions, and ensure neighbourhood improvements keep pace with growth rather than leaving residents to catch up.<\/p>\n
WHY SHOULD PEOPLE VOTE FOR YOU? <\/p>\n
I listen, seek to understand the issues, and act thoughtfully. I\u2019ll bring practical, evidence-based decision-making and a strong focus on Surrey\u2019s neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n
