Today, the opposition voted against unlocking 4,100 new rental homes for Vancouverites. This was a once-in-a-generation opportunity to seriously address affordability by building thousands of homes for middle income folks while creating tens of millions in non-tax revenue for parks, community centres, and infrastructure - all at no cost to taxpayers. Today's vote shows Vancouverites that ABC is the only party focused on real solutions for housing and affordability.

Vancouverites deserve a summertime fireworks celebration. At City Hall, we were incredibly disappointed to learn of the cancellation of the 2026 Celebration of Light. The Celebration of Light is not an ordinary concert or festival, it’s the largest community event in BC. It’s free, it’s family friendly, and a significant contributor to the local economy. That's why I'm excited to be bringing forward a motion to Council that will see the City of Vancouver dedicate $2 million towards a one time, one night fireworks celebration in Summer 2026!

This week, opposition councillors blocked a decision that would've unlocked 4,100+ housing units for Vancouverites while creating a new non-tax revenue source that could have gone towards funding city services and critical infrastructure. To say their decision was shortsighted and irresponsible would be an understatement. We won't lose sight of the important goals here. Our focus is, and will always be, on delivering housing, affordability, and fiscal responsibility for the people of Vancouver.

We're investing $104 million over the next four years to improve roads and sidewalks across Vancouver. This will allow for the complete upgrade of 15 to 20 arterial corridors, 800 blocks of local roads, and 28km of sidewalks. The funds represent a ‘Maximum Delivery Capacity’ scenario and a 204% increase over the previous administration’s $34 million allocation. This move is just one of the ways we’re focusing on the core services Vancouverites rely on every day.

We're excited to be moving forward with piloting VanStat, a new operational system that breaks down silos between City departments to deliver a more efficient, effective City Hall. VanStat is built off of CompStat, an evidence-based reporting program used to identify challenges and improve accountability through data and cross-department collaboration. VanStat will ensure City resources are deployed where they're needed the most.

As we look back at 2025, Vancouver has a lot to be proud of. Our city is on the right track and thanks to the ABC majority on Council, we've seen significant progress made over the last year: ✅ Falling crime rates across the board with the City seeing its lowest violent crime rate in 23 years. ✅ Approval of a zero percent property tax increase with a renewed focus on core services. ✅ Significantly reduced wait times for permitting and approvals, helping deliver more homes, faster. We're proud to be delivering a City Hall that is efficient, effective, and focused on the issues that matter most for Vancouverites. As we look to the year ahead, our focus will continue to be on finding ways to make Vancouver a safer, more affordable, and more vibrant place to call home. On behalf of our whole team at City Hall, thank you for an incredibly successful 2025 and we look forward to an even better 2026!

When our team was elected, we promised to get more help to people in crisis. Through our investments in expanded mental health services, more than 8,000 people were supported in 2025 through programs like Car 87/88, the Mobile De-escalation Team, and the province’s first Indigenous Crisis Response Team. Fewer crises. Safer neighbourhoods. Real results for Vancouverites.
