It is officially election season, with Canadians set to go to the polls on April 28.
Prime Minister Mark Carney met with Gov.-Gen. Mary Simon Sunday morning (March 23) in Ottawa to ask her to dissolve parliament, officially kicking off the 2025 federal election in Canada.
There are six federal ridings (electoral districts) in the Surrey/White Rock area including Surrey City Centre, Surrey Newton, Fleetwood-Port Kells, Cloverdale-Langley City, South Surrey-White Rock and Langley Township-Fraser Heights. Also, the Delta riding includes a small pocket of Surrey homes near Scott Road, south from the corner of 64 Avenue and 126 Street, to Mud Bay.
The nomination process for candidates closes Monday, April 7, and a complete list of confirmed candidates will be announced two days later, on Wednesday, April 9. Advanced voting is Friday, April 18, Saturday, April 19, Sunday, April 20 and Monday, April 21 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The locations of the advance voting locations will be released on April 1 on elections.ca.
