YAY Vincent Lalonde the McCallum enabler has resigned as city manager I have been calling for that even sent him emails and a letter in regard to that. Surrey City Council had a much publicized private meeting last week probably related to that. https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2023/08/14/vincent-lalonde-retires-surrey/

Surrey City Manager Vincent Lalonde has decided to retire after nine years in the role.
Leaving the position caps off his 26 years working for the city in numerous positions, including general manager of the engineering department.
“This decision has not been an easy one, but after 26 years of an incredible run at the City of Surrey, I am announcing that I am hanging up my skates as City Manager,” said Lalonde.

Mayor Brenda Locke commended Lalonde’s leadership in the city during the COVID-19 pandemic and thanked him for the senior management team he put into place.
“On behalf of Surrey City Council, I want to thank Vince for his remarkable dedication to the City of Surrey,” said Locke.
Beyond his work for the City of Surrey, Lalonde also served as the chair of Metro Vancouver Regional Administrators Advisory Committee and as the BC Board Representative of the Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators.
Rob Costanzo, general manager of corporate services, will step in to replace Lalonde as acting city manager.

Someone needs to educate McCallum, Surrey city manager Vincent Lalonde, and others at Surrey City Hall that it's almost certainly unconstitutional for municipal staff to ticket canvassers who are acting reasonably on public property. That's because bylaw officers' actions appear to contradict the findings of the courts in the Commonwealth of Canada ruling.

Hi,
The decision to have Surrey taxpayers pay the legal bills of the lying Mayor made by you is inexcusable and a waste of taxpayer money. The Mayor said to the media he was at the mall to do grocery shopping he was seen going into the Save On Foods at the mall so he was not on official business. Were you the person who okayed the Surrey taxpayers giving McCallum a $43k white Buick without telling the media or Surrey residents on top of a $14k gasoline allowance a better perk than any other Lower Mainland Mayor has. The Mayor has been photographed filling up his Buick at the Surrey Works Yard Surrey mayor's city-owned car and car allowance should be reviewed by ethics commissioner, councillor says | CTV News so is there any routine auditing of the Mayor's generous expense account and if not why not?
The lying Mayor has told two different stories about what happened in the mall parking lot but there apparently is no cell phone video, no car video, no eyewitness accounts that back the Mayor up. He has been charged with public mischief for filing a false police report he is entitled to a legal defense and his day in court but he should pay for it out of his own funds not ripoff Surrey taxpayers to do it. The Mayor lives in a nice Crescent Beach home worth more than a million dollars and gets his nice Mayors pay he can pay his own legal bills and ethically and morally he should.
