The Conservative Party of Surrey announced Sandy Dosanjh as its newest candidate for Surrey City Council.

Through her close involvement with the KidsPlay Foundation, Dosanjh supports its work to steer young people away from drugs and gang violence through sports, discipline, mentorship and positive opportunities.

“Keeping young people away from drugs and gangs takes more than speeches,” said Dosanjh. “It takes strong families, trusted mentors and opportunities that give young people confidence, discipline and a sense of purpose. Sports can provide all of that.”

A competitive bodybuilder, certified personal trainer and dedicated volunteer, Dosanjh has committed her time to helping young people find sports, mentorship and positive paths forward.

Dosanjh also comes from a law-enforcement family.

“I know how much police officers and their families sacrifice to protect our communities,” said Dosanjh. “They should never have to wonder whether City Hall has their backs. Surrey needs a strong police force that is fully funded and fully supported by its mayor and council.”

Conservative Party of Surrey mayoral candidate Honveer Singh Randhawa welcomed Dosanjh to the team.

“Sandy has spent her time doing the work, not merely talking about it,” said Randhawa. “Her commitment to young people, public safety and community service makes her a powerful addition to our team. Sandy is a star candidate. She understands that safer streets require both early intervention and police officers who have the resources to do their jobs.”

Dosanjh joins Randhawa and Conservative council candidates Ricky Bajwa, Donna Wu, Calvin Vanderploeg and Dan B. Carlos.

Chris Campbell has devoted his working life to one area – community journalism.

“That’s where you feel the heartbeat of a community,” Campbell says.

That devotion has led to a journalism career spanning 35 years as a reporter and editor in places ranging from Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows to the upper Fraser Valley and all the way to Victoria — with stops in Surrey, Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and the Tri-Cities along the way.

When he’s not obsessing over his beloved Boston Celtics or watching Goodfellas for the 100th time, Campbell is spending time with his adult daughter and travelling the world with his amazing partner.

Campbell says he’s excited to have joined Constellation Media to write for the Surrey Citizen and The Ridge outlets because of the entity’s commitment to mission-driven journalism, and to tell stories that people are talking about on a daily basis.

So if you have a story idea, just let him know.
