Kuldip Sidhu reappointed to Surrey's park, recreation & sport tourism committee

Whether it’s planting trees, organizing food drives, or cheering from the sidelines at a field hockey match, Kuldip Singh Sidhu has built his life around one simple idea: community first. And now, he’s been reappointed to bring that same spirit back to City Hall for a second term as a Community Member on Surrey’s Parks, Recreation, and Sport Tourism Committee. The announcement came in a letter from Mayor Brenda Locke, dated May 28, 2025, recognizing Sidhu’s dedication to building a vibrant, inclusive Surrey. His new term runs until December 31, 2026.

For Sidhu, service is second nature. By day, he’s a Regional Manager at Khalsa Credit Union. But beyond the office, his real passion comes alive through grassroots action: volunteering with Guru Nanak Free Kitchen, supporting the Guru Nanak Food Bank, organizing drives for the Surrey Food Bank, and helping to lead local tree-planting eventsthat have literally helped the city grow greener.

And that’s not all. As a longtime supporter of youth sports, Sidhu is also involved with West Coast Field Hockey and Surinder Lions Field Hockey — programs that don’t just promote athletics, but also mentorship, teamwork, and community pride.

“It’s a great honour to return for a second term,” Sidhu shared. “I’m thankful to Mayor Brenda and City Council for this opportunity. It means a lot to continue contributing to a city that’s given me so much.”

The Parks, Recreation, and Sport Tourism Committee helps guide policies and programs that impact everything from public parks and community centers to sport events and wellness initiatives. With his strong grassroots connections and lived experience, Sidhu brings a unique and valuable perspective to the table.

Surrey is home to one of Canada’s fastest-growing and most diverse populations — and with people like Kuldip Sidhu helping shape its future, that future looks bright, active, and deeply connected.
