I had the pleasure of speaking with Steve Dooley, the Executive Director of SFU Surrey, on how campus has expanded over his 8 years there, how COVID-19 has changed the campus for students and faculties in both temporary and permanent ways, and how the campus is looking to expand in the future to better serve the community of Surrey Centre and all those who attend the bustling campus.SHOW LESS
Budget 2021 is one of the biggest topics of discussion moving through the house right now.

We also touch on Canada's tech sector, green energy, support for students, and more.

For the first episode of Randeep's in the House, I was joined by Brian Aasebo from SAFE (Surrey Anti-Gang Family Empowerment Program) - which is a program that I, along with my honourable colleagues, announced $7.5 million in funding for, in January 2019.In this episode, you will learn about Brian's firsthand experience as a program coordinator for SAFE. He discusses what he's learned about this issue, what benefits the program has brought to the community, and what we can learn from this program in order to ensure our approach to addressing this crisis evolves along with the needs and realities of those affected by the issue of gang-violence in our community.To learn more about SAFE, please visit: https://bit.ly/2NCv8rW
