From decades as a first responder, to years in elected office, Mike has dedicated his career to public service, and to ensuring Surrey is a safe, vibrant, and thriving community.\nMike retired as Surrey Fire Services\u2019 Chief Fire Prevention Officer in 2014 after 32 years of service as a first responder, firefighter, and public safety leader. His decades on the frontlines have given him a firsthand understanding of the complex challenges facing Surrey \u2014 and what the community needs to feel safe, supported, and heard.\nAt the Surrey Fire Fighters Association, Mike championed health and safety initiatives locally and provincially. He is a founding member of the Surrey Fire Fighters Charitable Society, now one of Surrey\u2019s leading charities. Mike has also personally funded bursaries at three Surrey high schools, believing strongly in supporting young people as they pursue their goals.\nMike Starchuk has spent his life on the front lines of Surrey \u2014 showing up when things go wrong, standing up for what\u2019s right, and supporting the people who do the hard work that keeps a city running.\nRaised and educated in Surrey\u2019s Newton area, Mike served 32 years with Surrey Fire Services and retired in 2014 as the City\u2019s Chief Fire Prevention Officer. During his firefighting career, he was also deeply involved in the labour movement \u2014 serving as a Local 1271 union officer and was known as a staunch defender of firefighters\u2019 rights \u2014 including service as a workers\u2019 compensation advocate whom the IAFF reports helped secure more than $14 million in wages and benefits.\nMike\u2019s public service didn\u2019t stop at the station door. He is a founding member of the Surrey Fire Fighters Charitable Society, and he\u2019s been recognized for his many community contributions, including receiving the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal and the King Charles III Coronation Medal.\nIn elected office, Mike brought forward the same practical, protect-the-public mindset. He served on Surrey City Council and later as MLA for Surrey\u2013Cloverdale. As MLA, he worked on issues that hit working families directly: public safety, health, and the cost of living. Mike served as Chair of the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services, leading provincewide consultations on how to fund the services and infrastructure people rely on.\n\nNow, as mayoral candidate with Imagine Surrey, Mike is running to deliver a city that\u2019s safer, faster and more affordable \u2014 because for working people, results aren\u2019t theoretical: they\u2019re the difference between getting ahead and falling behind. Mike\u2019s advocacy extends province-wide through his work with the BC Professional Fire Fighters\u2019 Association, where he stood up for firefighters facing work-related cancers and occupational injuries. Following his retirement, Mike was named an honorary member of the organization for his years of dedication.\nOn the national stage, Mike served the International Association of Fire Fighters as a Partnership Education Program Facilitator, one of only three Canadian firefighters selected to deliver leadership development programs across Canada and the United States.\nHis service and ongoing dedication to the City of Surrey have been recognized with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal (2013) and King Charles III Coronation Medal (2024).\n\nMike was first elected to Surrey City Council in 2014. During his term, he chaired the Agriculture, Environmental, and Diversity Advisory Committees, and co-chaired the Seniors Advisory Committee. In these roles, he helped launch new farm-to-table initiatives that showcased the richness of Surrey\u2019s Agricultural Land Reserve and strengthened local food connections.\nIn 2020, Mike was elected as the Member of the Legislative Assembly for Surrey-Cloverdale. Highlights from his tenure include:\nBreaking ground on Surrey\u2019s second hospital and state-of-the-art Regional Cancer Centre, bringing the next generation of patient care closer to home.\nAdvancing the SkyTrain expansion, connecting Cloverdale to neighbouring communities and extending rapid transit to Langley.\nThe revival of Zappone Manor, a stalled seniors\u2019 housing project close to Mike\u2019s heart. By securing over $6 million from the B.C. Government, the outdated 50-unit building is now set to be replaced with 89 modern, affordable homes for seniors.\nDuring COVID-19, Mike helped protect hundreds of direct and indirect jobs at Fraser Downs by securing a $1.5 million grant \u2014 ensuring families and livelihoods remained stable during an uncertain time.\nWhile MLA for Surrey-Cloverdale, Mike served as Chair of the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services. Through provincewide consultations, he gained deep insight into British Columbians\u2019 priorities and how best to fund the services and infrastructure they need.\n\n\n\nWhen not working to build a better Surrey, Mike can be found cycling its busy streets and quiet farm roads \u2014 rain or shine, any month of the year. He is a proud partner, loving father , and 'Gido' \u2014 (Ukrainian for grandfather) \u2014 to his four grandkids.\n\nMike Starchuk has spent his life on the front lines of Surrey \u2014 showing up when things go wrong, standing up for what\u2019s right, and supporting the people who do the hard work that keeps a city running.\n\nRaised and educated in Surrey\u2019s Newton area, Mike served 32 years with Surrey Fire Services and retired in 2014 as the City\u2019s Chief Fire Prevention Officer.
