    In our platform, we announced an ambitious plan to create a network of car-free and car-lite streets across the city. Today, we're announcing the first pilot projects in that plan: a car-free Robson Street and Gastown.

    Thank you, Vancouver! And thank you to every one of our hundreds of volunteers and tens of thousands of supporters. Together, we ran a campaign to be proud of - centered on big ideas at the scale of the challenges we face.

    In Vancouver, on the front line of Canada's housing crisis, one exclusive, expensive neighbourhood is protected by municipal land-use policy: Shaughnessy. @christineeboyle has tabled a motion to unlock Shaughnessy, and add badly-needed housing.

    Vancouver has a brutal housing shortage. But for too long, apartment buildings have been banned from quiet residential streets. This isn't fair: it means that unless you can afford a house, you can't live in much of the city. That's why we're ending the apartment ban.

    We did it! Today, City Council voted unanimously to join cities around the globe like London, England & Los Angeles, California in declaring a Climate Emergency. Thank you Councillor @christineeboyle & the many, many people who fought so hard for this! onecityvancouver.ca/vancouverclima…

    How it started How it's going
    A screenshot of Ken Sim's childcare commitment from the campaign, to deliver 5,000 new childcare spaces, and a graphic detailing the way they intend to do it - harmonizing childcare spaces, achieving compliance through the licensing process, making additional city land available, directing more permit fees towards childcare, and ensuring newly constructed schools accommodate childcare spaces
    a Dan Fumano story illustrating ABC's utter failure to deliver on their promise.

Fumano's post: "Residents mounted a campaign against allowing 8 more kids to play in their neighbourhood for ~45 hrs/week

Homeowners complained re: parking, noise of "children playing" & threatened to sue the City if they approved a daycare

City hall rejected the daycare"

The article headline:

"Dan Fumano: How a Vancouver neighbourhood fought, and defeated, a daycare"

    We can have a city where we celebrate together. Where we grow old together. Where no one is priced out. But for that, we need to end the housing crisis - and build the homes we need. If you're sick of goodbyes, vote OneCity Vancouver on October 15.

    Here is the good news. Where ABC share priorities, we're ready to work together. But if our worst fears prove true - if he cuts affordable housing, if he cuts climate action - OneCity will be there to fight him.

    The multiplex plan has passed. But if this is the biggest land use change this Council makes, we will have failed. Today's housing crisis requires bolder leadership. Six floors and corner stores - on every street in this city. Please read our statement:

    There are 22 crashes causing injury or death every day in our city. That's why Councillor @christineeboyle is taking action - and tabling a motion calling for the installation of speed and red light cameras at our city's deadliest intersections.

    Ken Sim's newest hire left a government that doesn't believe climate change is real to work for a government that is in the middle of an $8 billion corruption scandal and is being investigated by the RCMP. Now, he's at Vancouver City Hall.
    No public announcement yet, but LinkedIn shows that #Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim has hired his new director of communications: Harrison Fleming, who comes to BC after recently working in governments of Premiers Jason Kenney (Alberta UCP) & Doug Ford (Ontario Conservatives).
