01 / Introduction ## About Tony Valente Tony Valente was re-elected to City of North Vancouver Council on October 17, 2026. The City's official results give him 5,881 votes, second of the 18 candidates for six seats. The Chief Election Officer certified the results on October 21, 2026, and he took the oath of office at the inaugural Council meeting on November 2, 2026. In his North Shore News answers he wrote that he has served eight years on City Council and works as Senior Director, Infrastructure and Capital Projects at a BC Crown corporation. He told the North Vancouver Chamber that he chaired the HUB North Shore Committee before his election and is a founding member and director of the North Van Urban Forum. Those are his own account. His campaign site lists motions he brought to Council in past terms, among them ending the use of anticoagulant rodenticides on City-owned property, advancing protected mobility lanes, creating safer spaces for skateboarders and calling for provincial funding for public libraries. That list is his own account. For the new term he wrote that he would champion Bus Rapid Transit with dedicated lanes, transit priority and frequent service, advocate for a new Second Narrows crossing, expand rental, co-op, non-market, co-housing and workforce housing near transit, strengthen renter protections, and make sure new development pays its fair share toward parks, public spaces and infrastructure. On the North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant he told Vote4Tomorrow that he supported Council's calls for an independent review, a public inquiry and a provincial review of Metro Vancouver's governance, and that the cost of the plant should be spread over its lifespan.
