    • Bylaw patrols boosted for in Surrey

    The City of Surrey says it's boosting bylaw patrols as Halloween and Diwali celebrations fall on the same day this year. 

    The city says the patrols will focus on fireworks regulations. 

    Mayor Brenda Locke says the city has upped the fines for illegal fireworks use, and says both Halloween and Diwali celebrations should be both fun and safe. 

    The city says officers will be fanning out across Surrey for fireworks hot spots, and last year officers went to more than 500 locations and doled out about 150 tickets.
