This record covers Alex Tkach, a TEAM for a Livable Vancouver candidate for Park Board commissioner at ballot number 225. The record rests on the TEAM candidate page, the party's August 2026 slate announcement and news reporting on that announcement.
No public appearance by this candidate was confirmed in the sources checked on September 22, 2026. The voting dates below apply to every voter. An empty day is a gap in the research, not proof that nothing is happening.
Checked September 22, 2026 · All event times are Vancouver local time. Recheck the organizer before travelling.
On dates without a confirmed appearance the public schedule is unknown; the candidate may still have activities that day. This static page changes only when its research is updated.

Tkach appears at ballot number 225 as a TEAM for a Livable Vancouver candidate for Park Board commissioner in the election held on October 17, 2026.

Keep Langara Golf Course
Tkach campaigns to keep Langara Golf Course as a golf course and to protect Vancouver's public green spaces, beaches and urban forest.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Both the TEAM candidate page and Daily Hive's August 6, 2026 report record this position. Neither source says what change to the golf course is being proposed or by whom, so the thing being opposed is not described.
What still needs checking
What proposal for Langara Golf Course exists, who put it forward, and what decision is pending.
Tkach says parks and community centres are core neighbourhood infrastructure and should be funded and maintained on that basis.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The TEAM candidate page states the position, using the phrase "Parks are core services, not afterthoughts." It names deferred maintenance as the problem to fix. No budget figure is given.
What still needs checking
What deferred maintenance backlog figure Tkach is working from, and how it would be paid for.
Tkach commits to restoring trust through transparency and community consultation, and to planning with neighbourhoods rather than around them.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The TEAM candidate page states this and names decisions taken without neighbourhood input as the problem. It does not name a specific decision or propose a specific consultation rule.
What still needs checking
Which Park Board decisions Tkach says were made without neighbourhood input, and what consultation rule would replace the current one.
Tkach says the Park Board should focus on its core responsibilities and spend wisely, with fiscal accountability.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The TEAM candidate page and the August 4, 2026 party announcement both record this. Tkach's quoted phrase in the announcement is "common-sense stewardship". Neither source names a program Tkach would cut or keep.
What still needs checking
Which Park Board spending Tkach considers outside the core job.

Reporting
Daily Hive
TEAM adds five candidates for Vancouver election, including the daughter of mayoral candidate Colleen Hardwick
Reported TEAM's five new candidates and described Tkach's career in digital visual effects and film post production, the Emmy nomination and 1996 Entrepreneur of the Year finalist claims, and the position on Langara Golf Course and green space.
Sources checked September 22, 2026. Official records establish decisions; campaign material establishes stated positions; reporting adds investigation and context. None alone establishes every claim.
The Emmy nomination and the 1996 Entrepreneur of the Year finalist placement come from TEAM's own announcement and candidate page. Daily Hive repeats them from that announcement, so they are still the campaign's claim. No awards body list was opened to confirm either, and the two sources differ in detail because only the candidate page gives 1982 as the Emmy year. No role title or dates at Northwest Imaging & FX were found. No source describing what proposal for Langara Golf Course Tkach is responding to was opened, and the TEAM website's positions page could not be reached. The City of Vancouver website refuses automated requests, so the official candidate filing was not checked. No interview, debate appearance or all candidates event naming Tkach was found. No accountability record of any kind was found.
