Vote Vancouver · Candidate for mayor

Rebecca Bligh

By Konrad · Sources checked 14 September 2026

Background

Bligh’s campaign biography identifies her as a two-term Vancouver councillor, Metro Vancouver director and former president of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. She is running for Vote Vancouver.

Published priorities

Her housing platform proposes co-op and community housing with public land kept in community ownership. Her transport platform promises to complete the Broadway bike lane and work with TransLink and the Province on free transit for youth under 18.

A question to follow

Which public sites would move first, and what budget and timetable would deliver the promised cycling connections?

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