The Problem
One of Pete Fry’s first motions as a city councillor established the Renter’s Office—a vital support for tenants across Vancouver. Ken Sim and ABC shut it down. Meanwhile, evictions, unaffordability, and renovictions continue to rise.
Vancouver renters deserve strong, citywide protections that ensure stability and fairness—not just in the Broadway Plan area, but everywhere.
The Problem
From deleted communications to secretive decision-making, Ken Sim’s ABC majority has consistently evaded public accountability. Vancouver’s democratic institutions—like the Integrity Commissioner, the Auditor General, the Park Board, and advisory committees—exist to uphold transparency and good governance. But under ABC, their role and independence are being sidelined.
City Hall also has strong rules on the books—but they’re meaningless if they’re not enforced. In-camera meetings are being used more frequently, the public deserves to know what’s really going on.
The Problem
Tree canopy is shrinking. Heatwaves are worsening. Some neighbourhoods have no access to parks.
The 3-30-300 rule is a proven standard for climate-safe, healthy cities:
🌳 3 trees visible from every home
🌲 30% tree canopy in every neighbourhood
🏞️ 300m to a green space for every resident
The Problem
Ken Sim’s “Task Force Barrage” pushed people out of the Downtown Eastside—but didn’t solve anything. It just displaced people into local business districts without offering shelter or services.
Vancouver lacks safe daytime spaces for people to rest, recover, and receive much needed support and services. The City can’t solve this alone—but it must lead with urgency.
ABC froze new supportive housing developments while the housing crisis deepens. Leaving people without homes isn’t just wrong—it’s dangerous.
The City doesn’t fund supportive housing—but it can clear the path for it.
