Parks as essential public infrastructure
The TEAM candidate page says Fawley believes parks and recreation facilities are essential public infrastructure: places to play, meet neighbours, stay active and enjoy Vancouver's natural beauty.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The candidate page states this as a general belief. It names no park, no facility, no budget figure and no timeline.
What still needs checking
Which parks or facilities would be the first priority, and by when?
The candidate page says Fawley is committed to making Park Board decisions practical, equitable, accountable and responsive to the communities the board serves.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The candidate page states this as an approach. It names no specific rule, such as a consultation requirement or a reporting change.
What still needs checking
What would change in how the board consults and reports?
TEAM, the party Fawley is running with, promises a capital investment of at least $739 million over four years for parks and recreation. This includes keeping a 50 metre pool in the Vancouver Aquatic Centre replacement and increasing park space by at least 20 percent, to reach 1.1 hectares of neighbourhood parkland for every 1,000 residents.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
This is the party's published Park Board platform. Daily Hive reported the $739 million figure on August 17, 2026. Fawley is not quoted in either source, and his own candidate page does not repeat these figures.
What still needs checking
Does Fawley personally support the $739 million figure and the 50 metre pool promise?
Restoring Park Board budget and operations independence
TEAM's Park Board platform says it will move finance, operations and facilities back under Park Board control from City departments, with line by line budget review, and will push for a fixed share of the City's tax base to fund the Park Board.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
This is the party's published Park Board platform. It names no candidate, no dollar figure for the tax base share and no date.
TEAM's Park Board platform says it will plan for the effect of climate change on Vancouver's parks, beaches and seawalls, and will limit tree removal in Stanley Park while protecting and expanding the tree canopy.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
This is the party's published Park Board platform. It names no candidate, no target number and no date for the planning work.
What still needs checking
What would the climate planning include, and by when would it be finished?
Restoring vehicle access to Stanley Park Drive and Beach Avenue
TEAM's Park Board platform says it will restore the vehicle access to Stanley Park Drive and Beach Avenue that existed before the pandemic, while adding separate paths for cycling and walking.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
This is the party's published Park Board platform. It names no candidate, no cost and no date for the change.
What still needs checking
Does Fawley support restoring vehicle access to Stanley Park Drive and Beach Avenue, and on what timeline?
Nelson Park: cancel the Park Board's approval for the BC Hydro substation
In TEAM's answer to The West End Journal, given under mayoral candidate Colleen Hardwick's name, the party says it has pledged to cancel the Park Board's approval of the land use agreements that let BC Hydro build an underground substation at Nelson Park, and to ask the BC Utilities Commission to refuse the permit the project needs. The answer says the party would protect up to 83 mature trees and set a firm rule against giving up existing parkland for industrial or corporate projects.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Party answer with Hardwick as the named author. It does not name Fawley and gives no date. voche.me has not checked whether the rights already granted to BC Hydro can still be cancelled.
What still needs checking
Does Fawley support cancelling the Nelson Park agreements, and what would happen to the payment BC Hydro already made?
TEAM's August 17, 2026 parks release says nearly 18 percent of Vancouver's parkland has no permanent legal protection, and that TEAM will make temporary parks and parks that are used as parks without the legal status into permanent parkland.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Party release published 10 days before Fawley was announced as a candidate. It does not name him, does not list the parks and gives no date.
What still needs checking
Which parks would be made permanent first, and when would the request go to Council?
Sunset Pool, Kitsilano Beach Pool and swimming lessons
TEAM's August 17, 2026 parks release says the party will support building Sunset Pool and renewing Kitsilano Beach Pool, and will offer more swimming and lifeguard training for children.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Party release that does not name Fawley. It gives no cost and no date for either pool.
What still needs checking
When would each pool open, and how many more children would get swimming lessons?
Lower parking fees at Spanish Banks and Jericho Beach
TEAM's August 17, 2026 parks release says the party will cut parking fees at Spanish Banks and Jericho Beach and review the parking system with the goal of making public access free again.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Party release that does not name Fawley. It gives no new fee, no estimate of the lost income and no date. The parking lots at these beaches are inside parks, which the Park Board runs.
What still needs checking
What would the new fee be, and how would the Park Board replace the lost parking income?

Statement
TEAM Park Board candidate announcement
TEAM's release introducing Fawley, Mayeli Alvarez and Jon Girard as new Park Board candidates. It gives Fawley's teaching background and describes his parks and recreation focus in the third person. Fawley is not quoted directly; the release quotes Girard instead.
On his own Instagram account, Fawley posted a photo caption saying he was at Rainbow Park and thinking about being nominated as a Park Board candidate for the October election. The post states no policy.
Records are labelled by type, including official findings, civil proceedings and political disputes where applicable. Each entry identifies the response found in the sources and the latest status verified for this page.

Vancouver's 2026 civic election candidate list is set: All 130 names in ballot order
Fawley is listed at ballot number 201 for Park Board with TEAM for a Livable Vancouver.
Sources checked October 3, 2026. Official records establish decisions; campaign material establishes stated positions; reporting adds investigation and context. None alone establishes every claim.
Kerrisdale Community Centre listed Fawley on September 23, 2026 among 23 Park Board candidates who confirmed for its September 29 meeting, but no report or recording of that meeting was found, so it is not recorded as an appearance. No interview or speech by Fawley was found, and no news story since September 26 names him. The VoteMate profile is still empty. The Vancouver Public Space Network's Park Board survey had no answers from him when it was last updated on September 29, 2026, and HUB Cycling's Vancouver survey sheet has no row for him. His Instagram account holds two posts, and only one concerns the campaign. TEAM's news page and events page, read on October 3, name no event or release with him in it; the events page describes a tour of 22 neighbourhoods with no dates or places. A LinkedIn profile and a ZoomInfo listing under the same name describe a Vancouver School Board classroom teacher and a past Vancouver Rowing Club coordinator role. LinkedIn could not be read without signing in, and ZoomInfo is a data broker listing, so neither claim is used here. The City's page links his nomination papers, which voche.me has not reviewed.
Research status
What voche.me has checked
Evidence reviewed on October 3, 2026: the City's candidate page, the party's candidate page, its Park Board platform page and August 17 parks release, his Instagram account, the VoteMate profile, The West End Journal's party answers and forum notice, Kerrisdale Community Centre's forum page, the Vancouver Public Space Network's Park Board survey and HUB Cycling's Vancouver survey sheet.
Three stated positions come from the party's candidate page, which writes about Fawley in the third person. The party platform, the party's parks release and the party's answers to The West End Journal do not name him, so the items taken from them are recorded as party positions.
Checks still to do: confirm his qualifications and teaching career with the bodies that would know, and ask him how he would choose which recreation projects get funded first. A voche.me questionnaire has not been sent.
The ballot name, office, ballot number and party label come from the City's final candidate list. Everything described as campaign material is the campaign's own account and has not been confirmed by an independent source.

Space for campaign updates
Research checked again: a forum listing, his Instagram account and more party positions
Added: the City's candidate page, read through a reader service, which lists his Instagram account; his Instagram post of August 25, 2026 about being nominated; Kerrisdale Community Centre's list of 23 Park Board candidates who confirmed for its September 29 meeting, which names him; a Park Board forum in the West End on October 3; and five party positions from TEAM's August 17 parks release and its answer to The West End Journal, recorded as party positions because neither names him. Correction: the work history line gave his years in teaching with the word about in front of the number; it now gives the campaign's figure of 20 years as the campaign's own count.
