Vancouver Election 2026 / Mayoral candidates

ABC Vancouver · Candidate for mayor

Ken Sim

By Konrad · Sources checked 14 September 2026

Background

Sim is Vancouver’s incumbent mayor, elected in 2022. The City biography records his business background as a co-founder of Nurse Next Door and Rosemary Rocksalt. He is seeking another term with ABC Vancouver.

Published priorities

ABC’s current campaign emphasises policing, mental-health nurses, a property-tax freeze, core services and reducing business red tape. Claims about the results of its first term are the campaign’s account, not an independent assessment of its record.

A question to follow

How would a further tax freeze affect service levels, and what spending commitments would the next budget include?

This is Side Street’s reporting question, not a question already answered by the candidate.
