With advance polls having closed in Vancouver’s hard fought 2022 municipal election, there is one final day on which to cast your ballot: Saturday, October 15th.
Today, VanRamblings presents our previously published endorsement ballots, in the hope we might offer you some assistance in voting at the polls on Saturday.
We believe that the candidates whose names appear on the three endorsement ballots below represent the very best of the 137 candidates who came forward this year to help us build a better, a fairer and more just city for all.
Possessed of integrity, a deep caring for Vancouver, well able to enact the changes that must occur in our city — around the decision-making table in chambers at Vancouver City Hall, within the Park Board offices located at 1111 Beach Avenue, and in the large Committee room situated along the windowed north wall within the offices of the Vancouver School Board, each of the candidates whose names appear below are possessed of uncommon and sophisticated insight into the democratic decision-making process that brings about change for the better — and each candidate is prepared to act readily and judiciously on your behalf from the moment they are sworn into civic office as your duly elected representatives.
Here is the rationale behind choosing the names above, for Mayor and Council.
Voting for Park Board Commissioners to represent all of us, who will act as stewards of Vancouver’s parks & recreation system is crucial. Here’s the rationale behind why the seven candidates whose names appear above were selected.
Here is the rationale behind choosing the candidates who will sit on Vancouver’s critically important Board of Education, whose names you may see directly above.
