The story behind the candidate
Common-sense leadership built through work, family, and community.
Calvin James VanderPloeg was born in Winnipeg and has called Surrey home for more than 25 years. His faith, family, and commitment to service continue to shape how he approaches community life.
A tradesperson by profession, Calvin has spent nearly four decades building and managing businesses in construction and hospitality. That work has put him in the room with homeowners, entrepreneurs, tradespeople, engineers, architects, and all levels of government.
Calvin is bringing that practical understanding to a council campaign focused on accountability, fiscal responsibility, and decisions that work in the real world.
