Welcome to The Surrey Standard
Surrey is one of the fastest-changing cities in the country, and it deserves a newsroom that keeps pace. Here is what this paper is for, and how to hold it to that.
The Surrey Standard starts from a simple premise: news that matters, stories that connect. The first half of that sentence is a promise about substance — what the city decides, approves and builds, reported plainly. The second half is a promise about people — that the point of covering a city is the community living in it.
We are independent and local. Our desks are listed in the navigation above, and each will publish a note in this first edition explaining how it intends to work. Those notes are commitments, not decoration; when we fall short of them, say so.
Two standing invitations. First, tips: the newsroom reads everything sent to tips@surreystandard.ca. Second, corrections: when we get something wrong, the correction runs at the top of the story, dated. A paper earns trust by how it behaves when it errs.
