U.S. company deal, FOI request trigger war of words in B.C. city

Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke defends city staff and the hiring of the American real estate firm Hunden Partners amid allegations of misconduct by Councillors Mike Bose, Linda Annis, and Doug Elford.
The city council held a closed-door meeting on March 21 to address allegations and passed resolutions for accountability and correcting misinformation regarding the Hunden contract.
An investigation was initiated to determine if Councillors Bose and Annis breached city bylaws by disclosing closed council information or made inappropriate comments about staff's Freedom of Information directives.
Councillors Bose and Annis called for the termination of Surrey's contract with Hunden due to concerns over American tariffs and the need for transparency in city dealings.
