METRO VANCOUVER - Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts says she won't participate in formal events at this weekend's Vaisakhi parade after organizers said they will continue to have images condoning violent acts at the religious celebration.

Watts said she is "very disappointed" that the committee from the Dasmesh Darbar Sikh temple has indicated that some so-called martyrs linked to terrorist groups or acts of violence in India will still be depicted on parade floats.
