Taxpayers are spending up to half-a-million dollars on the former BC Hydro CEO hired to facilitate the transition from the Surrey RCMP to the Surrey Police Service.
In an interview last month, Surrey’s pro-RCMP Mayor Brenda Locke called the appointment “awkward,” because McDonald is also a 2022-appointed director on the board of major City of Surrey contractor GFL Environmental Inc. . Rather than returning a reporter’s phone and email messages last week, McDonald contacted the ministry. On Oct. 6, Haslam sent a prepared statement that denied McDonald influenced Farnworth’s decision and said her role on the GFL board has no impact on the Surrey transition.
In his leaked Oct. 4 letter to Locke, director of police services Glen Lewis claimed Locke’s statements about McDonald’s dual roles undermined her assignment. Lewis also blamed Surrey city council and staff for delaying the transition.
