Additional Information

We recommend voting in advance if possible, to avoid election day congestion or unforeseen circumstances on the day.

While there are 10 councillor seats, you can vote for less than 10. For example, voting for 6 candidates is acceptable. There are a total of 137 candidates running for 27 positions.  This is why knowing the ballot number is helpful. 

The breakdown is as follows:

• 1 Mayor (15 candidates) 
• 10 City Councilors (59 Candidates)
• 7 Park Board Commissioners (32 Candidates)
• 9 School Trustees (31 Candidates)
• 3 Capital Plan Questions, (voter approvals for city borrowing)

Recommended candidates were either actively engaged and opposed to the 7th/8th and Arbutus rezoning application, and/or they showed support for listening to community input, transparency in the city process and data-driven decision making. 

We understand these candidates are committed to working to remediate past and future errors and poor decisions city-wide as well as those made at 7th and Arbutus.  We believe they will make well-informed decisions citywide, affecting how the city addresses mental health, addictions, homelessness and public safety.

Please return here to check for updates, as we hope to add candidates, who choose to engage with us.
