Biography

We need to ask ourselves what has changed in Surrey Newton? How many more youth lives will we lose to the drugs and gangs.Where is the hospital we were promised. Give me the opportunity, and the injustices we continue to face will have solutions. We need new representation.

Her passion for politics started in Grade 5 at Cougar Creek Elementary when she started competing in public speaking competitions and representing Surrey-Newton across B.C. In high school at Tamanawis Secondary School she saw that there was not a debate club, so she took initiative and talked to her principal to begin one which continued to represent Surrey-Newton in B.C.

Through this experience she has learned how to voice for public issues, work under pressure and bring change to the legislative system. She was also recognized for organizing the largest youth policy forum in Surrey-Newton with the Privy Council of Canada. The report highlighted issues from crime/public safety, affordable housing, mental health and overdose crisis, health care reform and affordable education. Parveer used her skills in public speaking and debate to make changes in her community by volunteering with the food bank, organizing a mentor-ship program for youth at risk of gang involvement and working with the community in providing child-care support to parents.

Her educational background is in International Business and Finance double majoring in Gender and Women’s studies and a minor in Social Justice in Education reform. In her business school she was the Director for Largest International Management Information Systems Case Competition where 17 universities across the world competed at Simon Fraser University, and she is on the Dean's Honour Roll for high academic grades.

Parveer Hundal’s platform focuses on decreasing the gang, drug and crime rates, bringing health care testing and imaging clinics to the riding, funding for bullying and mental health support, tackling the overdose crisis, affordable living, and assisted healthcare for families that need help and support.

She has stayed involved in politics and took a job in Ottawa to work in Parliament Hill and has the knowledge on the political system and responsibilities of a Member of Parliament. With a growing population she states we need new representation who will fight the issues that are continuing to get worse.

We need younger representation in politics so we can make sure our current and future generation’s issues are discussed and heard.

We are not seeing the change we need, and parents are worried about raising their children in this riding and what the future will look like. The three simple traits of politics are to listen, care and help your community.

As an independent she has the power to fight in Ottawa for funding and changes Surrey-Newton needs. We need to decide what future we want for our children. We need to live in a safe community, and she can ensure this will happen if she is elected to office.

Reason for running

submitted by the candidate or their team
After the same representation and no change our community has had enough. There are so many individuals left out of the political sphere because no one is asking them what they care about, their issues and problems.

The issues talked about 10 years ago are still being talked about now. We cannot keep talking about issues because our public safety is at risk. It is time we demand for change and get a representative that remains active even after an election. Anyone can put boards up but it is about community involvement and engagement. We NEED more town halls, community events and new representation to SAVE the future of Surrey-Newton.
