VANCOUVER ELECTION 2026 · ELECTION RESULTS
Two big wins for our neighbourhood. The journey continues.
Thank you. Because of your support, your petition signatures and your letters, 2030 Barclay became an issue in this election. As City Council deferred the rezoning application back to staff until after the recent October 17 election. Introducing Mayor-elect Pete Fry and 8 of the 10 newly elected Councillors belong to parties that officially opposed the 25-storey tower. Campaign commitments are just another step, and the application is still pending.
"Campaign commitments are just another step."
Community Update: Why This Fight Matters
Dear Neighbours and Supporters,
What’s special about the West End neighbourhoods of Vancouver? They’re just that, neighbourhoods.
Every block has its own unique flavour; a mixture of heritage and newer/low-rise apartments, homes and condos, beautiful tree canopy, funky and wild gardens, a cornucopia of small restaurants, cafes and services, early morning cold plunge swimmers, bird watchers, pitch and putt enthusiasts, recreational lawn bowlers, and tennis lovers! It is rare to live in a highly densified community where people who pass by greet you with a cheery “Good morning/afternoon/evening.”
So, what can we do to protect and preserve our unique neighbourhoods?
📣 What Happens Next
However, campaign commitments are just another step. The formal rezoning application for 2030 Barclay is still pending. Once the new Council is sworn in, our job becomes reminding them of their promises. We will keep you informed so our neighbourhood can present a strong, united voice.
🏆 Two Big Wins for Our Neighbourhood
Victory #1: Deferring the Rezoning Application. Earlier this year, City Council voted to defer the 2030 Barclay rezoning application back to staff until after the municipal election. That gave our neighbourhood the time and space to make this issue part of the citywide election debate.
Victory #2: Electing a Pro-Community Council Majority. Mayor-elect Pete Fry (Green Party, 98,494 votes) and 8 of the 10 newly elected Councillors (Green and COPE) belong to parties that officially opposed a 25-storey hotel/residential tower in our quiet, low-rise neighbourhood. All 7 newly elected Park Board Commissioners (Green and COPE) align with protecting Stanley Park and its surrounding borders.
Elected Councillors: Sean Orr (COPE), Annette Reilly (Green), Chloe Leslie (COPE), Devyani Singh (COPE), Stephanie Smith (Green), Lucy Maloney (OneCity), Camil Dumont (Green), Solomon Yi-Kieran (COPE), Mike Klassen (ABC), Bridget Burns (Green)
Next Steps
Direct outreach: We are contacting Mayor-elect Fry and incoming Councillors to congratulate them and confirm their commitment to protecting 2030 Barclay.
City Hall tracking: We will monitor Planning Department updates closely when the application moves forward.
Community readiness: We will keep you informed so our neighbourhood can present a strong, united voice at upcoming Council hearings.
We won this battle, but the war is not over.
