Editorial Board - The Province - May 16
Talking of young people, it’s great to watch those who are trying to be part of the solution rather than the problem.
We’re referring here to the news that 18-year-old Surrey blogger Paul Hillsdon has decided to run for council in the civic elections in November.
The Grade 12 student believes Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts has done a lot of good things for the city — “but things could always be better.”
His platform focuses on the need for greener, more vibrant communities and for better public transit.
He has a big hill to climb, but we wish him well.

Congratulations on your announcement to run for council! Best of luck to you in your efforts to initiate positive change within the city!
Thank you for stopping by my site to comment on the article regarding Newtons slot machine proposal.
I’ve sent it off to the Leader as a letter to the editor, in hopes of inspiring local residents who oppose it to get off their behinds, quit complaining about it, and actually do something constructive to turn that proposal around when it moves the public hearing stage.
I agree with your quote from the Province excerpt above, that Dianne Watts has done great things for the city, but “things could always be better. ”
Again, I wish you the best, and feel free to stop by the site anytime!
