Trial scheduled for Surrey mayor on charge of public mischief
Posted April 14, 2022 6:55 pm.
Just two weeks after the next civic election, Surrey’s current mayor is set to go on trial for public mischief.
The trial for Mayor Doug McCallum is set to begin on October 31 and last seven days.
It all stems from an altercation in a grocery store parking lot last September between the mayor and opponents of his plan to move Surrey to a municipal force. The mayor claims an opponent of the city’s police transition ran over his foot, but it was McCallum who ended up being charged.
Surrey’s police transition has been a divisive plan from the start in the city, leading to many flare-ups over the past few years.
