Tonight We’re Following BC’s Hot Civic Races

This summer, the Tyee began covering what was sure to be a fractured and fascinating civic election in Vancouver. Starting in July, we interviewed every major mayoral candidate, held a mayoral debate event and provided deep dives into key election topics such as crime and public safety, housing and parks and recreation. But you told us that would not be enough. And it made sense.

Election day is finally on the horizon — and if you don’t know exactly which election, this article is for you. B. C. residents will head to the polls Saturday to elect municipal, regional district and school board representatives. With a provincial campaign also underway, it can be hard to keep track of what’s happening at a local level.

Vancouverites have spent four years governed by Mayor Ken Sim and his ABC-led council that shed members over time. Today voters provide their final grade by saying who they want next for mayor, council, park board and school board. The Tyee has dispatched reporters to several parties’ headquarters and after the polls close at 8 p.m. we’ll be updating this story as details, including results, reveal the end of what has been a long election season with many twists and turns.
