What the result means for Surrey North
Surrey North takes in Whalley, Green Timbers and Bridgeview, some of the most densely populated and fastest changing neighbourhoods in the city, along the King George Boulevard corridor. Residents there will now be represented on the government side of the legislature, which puts the riding’s biggest files in front of a Conservative cabinet: wait times and staffing at Surrey Memorial Hospital, housing and development pressure around the Whalley city centre, transit along King George Boulevard, school capacity, and public safety, including the extortion threats that have hit Surrey businesses. With a Conservative MLA in a Conservative government, Surrey North city councillors, business owners and community groups will be pressing Dhaliwal to deliver provincial funding and decisions for the northwest corner of the city.
A second term for the auto glass entrepreneur
Dhaliwal’s path to the legislature runs through small business. He migrated to Canada in his 20s with his family, completed a Bachelor of Arts degree, and played kabaddi at the national level in India, winning a gold medal in an inter-college tournament. After settling in Surrey, he built Fixman Auto Glass Repair and Fixman Auto Glass Supplier into established local businesses. He is a member of the BC Sikh Motorcycle Club, and his charity rides have raised $100,000 for the BC Cancer Society on a 2016 ride from B.C. to Ontario and $100,000 for the Khalsa Aid organization on a Canada to India ride that set a world record. His wife Pawan is a registered nurse, and they have a son, Diltaj. In his Apna News candidate profile, Dhaliwal pointed to affordable housing, education, health care and environmental sustainability as his focus areas, and said his experience listening to community members shapes his approach to representation.
Surrey North in a Conservative majority
The Surrey North win is part of a province-wide Conservative victory. In Elections BC’s preliminary count, the Conservative Party of BC is leading in 64 of 93 districts, ahead of the BC NDP at 27 and the BC Green Party at 2, well past the 47 seats needed for a majority. The Conservatives, led by Lorne Doerkson, will form a majority government, ending nine years of BC NDP government. Surrey backed the change across the city, with Conservative candidates leading in all 10 Surrey ridings in the preliminary count, and Surrey North is one of the seats that makes the majority.
