Re-elected to Coquitlam council on October 17, 2026, with 13,758 votes, for a fourth term.

Teri Towner was re-elected to Coquitlam City Council on October 17, 2026. The City of Coquitlam's official count gives her 13,758 votes, fourth of the 20 council candidates, and the Chief Election Officer declared her elected on October 21, 2026. The City's results print no elector organization for any candidate; the Tri-Cities Dispatch reported that she ran as an independent. Freshet News photographed her watching the results at city hall on election night.
The City's council page says she has lived in Coquitlam for 27 years, holds a business degree from Simon Fraser University, worked in banking, human resources and the non-profit sector, and was first elected to council in 2014. It lists her as chair of the City's Economic Development Advisory Committee and Cultural Services Advisory Committee, a director on the Metro Vancouver board, vice chair of Metro Vancouver's Housing Committee and a member of its Governance Committee. Metro Vancouver's own list of board members names her as one of Coquitlam's two directors. The City's page also lists her volunteer work, among it the Burke Mountain Naturalists, Meaningful Meals for Seniors and the co-founding in 2016 of the TriCities Friends of Refugees Task Group; voche.me has not checked these with the groups. The Dispatch reported in August 2026 that she runs weekly as a guide for a blind athlete, and her campaign site carries that runner's endorsement.
The City's council minutes of February 6 and 13, 2023 record routine motions she moved: the amended 2023 council meeting schedule, the approval of the previous meeting's minutes and the receipt of Finance Standing Committee minutes. The Dispatch and Freshet News reported her words and votes on 2024 to 2026 decisions. In October 2024, on energy and carbon rules for new buildings, she asked about supply chain problems and said she did not want to slow construction during a housing crisis. In December 2025 she voted for the 2026 budget and its 3.37 per cent tax increase. In April 2026 she and Councillor Robert Mazzarolo voted against a 27-storey tower and rental block at 727 North Road, Freshet News reported. In June 2026 she was one of three votes against a 404-unit townhouse project in the Partington Creek neighbourhood of Burke Mountain, which passed 5 to 3. In July 2026 she voted for the City's new unit mix rules and said: "I am not a huge fan of over-regulation but I do think it's important to have clarity." As acting mayor in August 2026 she welcomed the new officer in charge of the Coquitlam RCMP.
In the Dispatch's questionnaire of October 13, 2026 she said the most pressing transportation issue she hears about is the unsafe use of e-scooters, that she accepts contributions from eligible individuals and believes some work in the development industry, that the 3.37 per cent increase was reasonable, and that she is open to surveillance camera technology only with privacy safeguards and advice from the RCMP. By her own account on her campaign site, she moved the motion that put public defibrillators across Coquitlam, had an anti-idling bylaw adopted, and moved two resolutions at the Union of BC Municipalities; voche.me has not checked these against the minutes. Her campaign site carries an endorsement from Richard Stewart, mayor from 2008 to 2026.
Summarized from the campaign’s published profile. These are stated positions, not an assessment of results or a complete platform.
Her platform promises continued investment in police, fire and bylaw enforcement, a Vision Zero approach to road safety, stronger rules and enforcement for e-mobility devices with a ban on paths such as the Lafarge Lake loop, quick graffiti removal and more public defibrillators.
She told the Dispatch the unsafe use of e-scooters is the transportation issue she hears about most.
Her platform says she will keep property taxes stable, predictable and as low as possible, focus on core municipal services, complete core service reviews and cut the use of outside consultants. It says provincial downloading cost Coquitlam $37 million over three years, by the campaign's own figure.
Teri Towner campaign · Platform: Responsible Fiscal StewardshipHer platform promises to keep planting 5,000 to 7,000 trees a year, keep the tree canopy at 50 per cent, expand community gardens and public electric vehicle charging, and encourage the relocation and reuse of homes to cut demolition waste.
Teri Towner campaign · Platform: Greener, More Sustainable NeighbourhoodsHer platform promises to advocate for more bus service in underserved neighbourhoods, expand cycling and micro-mobility routes and secure bike parking, support signal coordination to ease congestion, and advocate for more car-sharing.
She told a council committee in September 2026 that she had used the Evo car-share service and found it easy, Freshet News reported.
Her platform promises to keep pressing for below-market and non-market homes in new developments, larger family units, age-friendly street-level homes for seniors, better storage and parking rules, and more affordable seniors' housing through partnerships.
She told the Dispatch she wants more two- and three-bedroom homes and accessible homes so seniors can downsize in their own community.
Her platform promises to champion an urgent care centre in Coquitlam, schools, child care funding, money for the Brunette Interchange and TransLink, supportive housing and mental health services, and climate-resilient infrastructure.
Teri Towner campaign · Platform: A Strong Voice for CoquitlamHer platform promises to keep applying the Accessibility and Inclusion Plan, build new facilities to Rick Hansen Foundation standards, support seniors' programs at the Dogwood and Glen Pine pavilions, fund the Evergreen Cultural Centre, Place des Arts and Coquitlam Heritage, and deliver the Burke Mountain and Fraser Mills community centres.
Teri Towner campaign · Platform: An Age-Friendly CityResearched on 2026-10-30 through the seven search steps listed below: the City's declaration, results per tabulator and voting-night release, the City's council page for her, the City's council minutes of February 6 and 13, 2023, Metro Vancouver's list of board members, every page of her campaign site that concerns the campaign (home, About, Accomplishments and the 15 platform pages), her VoteMate page, and reporting by Freshet News and the Tri-Cities Dispatch.
Her campaign's account of her own motions (public defibrillators, the anti-idling bylaw, two UBCM resolutions, a ridesharing motion) and of her volunteer roles and awards is the campaign's own and was not checked against the minutes or with the groups; the City's page repeats the volunteer roles. Her Facebook and Instagram accounts showed only a login page to scripts. The Tri-City News archive on vancouverisawesome.com answers 403 to scripts, so its reports on her earlier campaigns were not read.
The City's council page says she was first elected in 2014 and chairs the Economic Development and Cultural Services advisory committees. Its minutes of February 6 and 13, 2023 record motions she moved. The Dispatch and Freshet News reported her launch for a fourth term after 12 years on council.
