City Hall Education Election

Know Your Donor: Who funded the SCC?

Following in the spirit of a similar series by our friends over at CityCaucus, we are delving into the numbers to see who funded the campaigns in the November municipal elections. You can view financial statements from all candidates at the city’s website.

The Surrey Civic Coalition, the City’s left-leaning opposition party, ran a full slate for Council and School Board, albeit without a mayoral challenger. They secured one seat on School Board.

The organization was not funded equally by all participants. They each had their own varied contributions and expenses. They are broken down below:
