Sources, photographs and corrections

Candidate descriptions and portraits are attributed to the respective campaign websites, except the locally bundled Doug McCallum portrait, which is sourced from a City of Surrey public annual report because the campaign image server could not be packaged reliably. Third-party logos, campaign marks and photographs remain the property of their respective owners. Their appearance does not imply endorsement or affiliation. Candidates, official agents and rights holders may request a documented correction, authorized replacement or removal review at apnamediagroupltd@gmail.com.
