"Tough Grandma" Mayor Brenda Locke

Hotel Pacifico was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as FortisBC and the Health Sciences Association of BC.

🏨🌄 Surrey’s Mayor Brenda Locke joins Kate, Geoff, and Mike to talk about meeting the needs of her growing city, specifically discussing gaps in health care delivery and school facilities. Locke also touches on policing in Surrey and recent extortions targeting Surrey businesses. The hosts ask the mayor on the future of regional governance, Surrey’s relationship with Vancouver, and Surrey as a key battleground in recent federal and provincial elections.

In the Strategy Suite, the hosts discuss BC Ferries building ships in China, the creation of the One Party, the mysterious Green leadership race, and a new entrant in the Vancouver mayoralty race. They cap off the episode with a callout to frequent Hotel Pacifico guests.
