Linda Buchanan was re-elected Mayor of the City of North Vancouver on October 17, 2026. The City's official results give her 6,056 votes, 46 per cent, ahead of Mike McGraw with 5,163, Dave Kurvers with 1,602 and Oliver King with 258. The Chief Election Officer certified the results on October 21, 2026, and she took the oath of office at the inaugural Council meeting on November 2, 2026.
Daily Hive reported that she was first elected mayor in 2018 and was a city councillor from 2011 to 2018. By her own account she was a school trustee before that, and worked for close to 30 years as a public health nurse for Vancouver Coastal Health. Her campaign site says she chairs Metro Vancouver's Invest Vancouver Management Board and sits on the TransLink Mayors' Council. At the inaugural meeting, Council endorsed her appointment as the City's director on the Metro Vancouver Regional District board for the four-year term.
In her North Shore News answers she named the Lonsdale Great Streets project, the replacement of the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge, funding for full Bus Rapid Transit and the ICBC building as her specific focus. In her Vote4Tomorrow answers she set out four steps on the cost of the North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant: a fairness mechanism for cost overruns, direct relief from the Province, an independent public inquiry, and a formal complaint to the Inspector of Municipalities if the Province does not act.
On election night she told the North Shore News she would go ahead with the Lonsdale Great Street project and the Harbour Swim Deck, plan housing for young families and seniors, and press the federal government on replacing the Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing.
